Everyone have a great Veterans Day....
« on: November 11, 2011, 06:11:01 AM »
 Here is a pic of me and my first love. 1969 Phantom II
 Back in the day 1981.
 Easily the most beautiful aircraft ever built.  :stirpot:

A big "Thank you" to all the Vets who came before me.  I appreciate seeing people that remember that this isn't just a day for a parade and some shopping sales.

Army vet here.

Thank you to all who have served and who are now serving. A special thank you to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and to their families.

Close, it's an RB-36. My dad was a crew chief on one of those.

I just got back from the Veterans Day ceremony here at work. As always it was touching and very well done, even brought tears to mine eyes. In years past they had someone with a very good voice sing the National Anthem. Not so this year, the tears that I mentioned weren't just for the poignant reminder of the great sacrifice that some have given...

My wife and I are going there for dinner, a beer and a free burger for me. I just gotta dig out my DD214.
