As I have mentioned before, I am an Air Force veteran who served during the Vietnam war. Let’s celebrate our veterans today by posting a picture of you, a friend, or family member. You can also give a shout out if you don’t have a picture. This picture is from Lackland Air Force Base, TX, boot camp, September-November 1968. Thank you all who served. Attachments:

Thank you to all our peas who have served! My husband is a 26 year Army veteran.
I am also happy & proud to know a WWII veteran. He’s 96 years old and was a bomber pilot.

Thank you all for your service.
We are not veterans, but we went to our local "old" cemetery and cleaned three headstones this morning. One served in the Civil War and the other two from WWII.

Thank you Veteran's!
Both of my granddads served - one was in the Air Force and the other was in the Army and a POW when his plane was shot down.
My Uncle (mom's brother) was an officer with the Army, who served in the Gulf War. And his son and his son's wife are both now Majors in the Army and serving in Syria right now.
My other Uncles (dads side) were both in the Navy.
My twin served in the Air Force and now his son is following in his footsteps.
So much respect for those who served, and for the sacrifices they and their families have made for us.

DH retired after 30 years in the Marine Corps.
We're going to the Marine Birthday Ball this week. It's a beautiful celebration that gives me goosebumps every year.
Thanks to all the vets and their families!

I served six years in the Army Reserve and Utah National Guard. I deployed with my unit to support Operation Desert Storm in 1990-91. My husband served 31 total years - five in the Navy, 16 in the Army, and the remainder in the National Guard. He’s deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as well as serving two tours in Korea. He retired from the Army about seven years ago and has since served as a military contractor, including another two years in Afghanistan. Thank you to all who served, continue to serve, and those who love and support them  . ETA: my military stuff, including photos, are absolutely buried in my garage right now, so I’ll pull them out next year  . |

Thanks to all the vets and their families. My grandfather on one side was a WW2 Army vet and uncles on the other side served in the Navy during the Korean War
era. DH made it through Marine Corps basic training, but an injury during OTS kept him from serving. There’s a very long line of military service on his side of the family and he really wanted to serve.

That is a lovely idea! DH served during the end of the Vietnam war, but in Germany. He was in the Air Force from 1972-1976. He has really interesting stories about being in military intelligence. I know he hasn't told me everything. |
