Happy Veteran's Day
« on: November 10, 2010, 06:01:05 PM »
When you honor those of us that served our country, do not forget those that never came home. It is to them that the rest of us owe everything.  The link below is a powerful song, with scenes from a powerful series.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMs9obmTEtw

And for those that did not know there are words to this... here they are so you can follow along:

You never lived to see
What you gave to me
One shining dream of hope and love
...Life and liberty

With a host of brave unknown soldiers
For your company, you will live forever
Here in our memory

In fields of sacrifice
Heroes paid the price
Young men who died for old men's wars
Gone to paradise

We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see we can live together
When all the world is free

I wish you'd lived to see
All you gave to me
Your shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty

We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see - we can live together
When all the world is free


To all my brothers... and sisters, who served their nation proudly. Have a very well deserved Veteran's Day.

I'm gonna celebrate it a bit late this weekend by being a Revolutionary War officer for three days (annual Veterans Day encampment).  :salute
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

It's OORAH actually...........  Oh wait, never mind sir.   :salute

Hooah  :salute

Did you know, a US Ranger is one of the few people a Marine doesn't like to hang out with....... Always getting the Leatherneck's into trouble.   :salute

My good friend, and a former coworker was a Ranger...........

RIP Staff Sgt. Ryan Patman Means, 35, of Clarksville, Tenn.  US Rangers

Quote from: Atlanta Journal Constitution
Ryan Means was so gung-ho about the military, he ripped out a recruitment card from a magazine, filled it out and mailed it in.

A few days later, two Marine Corps officers knocked on his parent's door in Atlanta, ready to enlist their son. His mother, Mary Jo, sent the officers away.

After all, her son was only 9.

He never got around to becoming a Marine, he never enlisted until after 9-11.  He served some time in Iraq before God struck him with malignant cancer.  The good always die young.  I'm going to live forever.
See Rule #4
Now I only pay because of my friends.
