It is Memorial Day God bless you for your service and to those whom have served. To those who have given their lives for the battle for freedom this is your day. Honor is yours. The price you paid is priceless. Your life for freedom.
All those who have served know what a person gives up. It is a hard price. Voluntarily give up your rights so that others have theirs. The family knows this as well. You must go when called. No Questions. You are the military's. What ever branch is does not matter. We all fight for the same team. The USA.
I served in the Navy 1987-1991. Honorably discharged. Involved in Operation Praying Mantis April !988 Persian Gulf on USS Jack Williams FFG-24. I was TAD to that ship. My permanent ship USS Luce DDG-38. Spent time in the Caribbean, Atlantic, Mediterranean and even the Pacific. Been through both canals, Panama and Suez.
The price paid cannot be overstated. A human life for other lives even when you don't know the people you serve for. Doing the things one is trained to do. Combat is not easy. Tough on the mind, the soul and the body. The memories that come passing through. Unannounced or even invited they are tough to handle, both good and bad. The friends made and the ones lost these are nuggets in one's life.
From the Revolutionary War to the present, either in the Persian Gulf or Afghanistan you are remembered. You are thanked and honored all around this great nation of ours.
For those who lost their life may you be in paradise. I hope that you are enjoying your mansion. Wearing either a robe or garment may you be there. God Bless you.
Thank you Active and Veterans for your service,
From a Veteran.
