Veterans, Get In Here!!
« on: November 09, 2013, 04:45:00 PM »
First off, thanks to the Asbells for making their banner space a veteran thank you. Second, here's a tip of the glass to all my veteran brothers. Thank you, everyone of you. We had the high privilege of defending the greatest nation on earth. So get in here and post a pic. Lets see what we all looked liked way back then. Here's a picture of me, and one of my Dad.

God Bless America.

2003. Leading a patrol through Fallujah during the invasion.

 

2 years ago at Yankee stadium while assigned to West Point where I was teaching cadets tactics.

First light at Cu Chi, 31 Jan 68. I am holding part of a casing of a 122mm rocket that Mr Charles was so nice to send our way.

Serving this great nation is a family affair for us. My time has come and gone, but my amazing wife has taken up the mission.
       

This is us at the Marine Corps Birthday Ball last year.

This pic is right before the only/1st DA mission ever conducted with Afghani aircraft and pilots. It was interesting to say the least...lol

 

Good times

Sorry no pics, but my daughter and I both served. She gave the ARMY 9 years and received an Honorable Discharge in 2003. I received my Honorable Discharge from the USAF 1976.
God bless all of you who served.
