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.

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.

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.
