Someone up high plus my Sgt. Major, who I will never forget, was watching out for me and my wife. My son was a corpsman in the navy, spending most of his time training with the marines. Stayed in for 6 yrs and should have stayed for 20 or more. I can say I'm probably more patriotic than George M. Cohan was . . . maybe. Here's to you and yours and all the others here on Memorial Day who served their country!!!! I salute all of you.   And I agree . . . hard to beat Navy schooling and experience.
Sorry EP I got off subject, but it is Memorial Day weekend. |
One of the best people i ever knew was a ww2 vet. Served in the navy. His wife lost him not long ago, he was just a wonderful person. Could have listened to him for hours. Fewer and fewer left from ww2....very thankful for all that those men and women did.
