Today is the day that no matter what your view is on the wars this country has fought we must pay our respect to those who have given their lives in defense of this country to give us all the freedoms we enjoy everyday. To all my brothers and sisters in arms and some of my best friends I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, Rest in Peace! Your memory will never fade!!

Amen sir.:rock:
 
Just got back from our visit to Riverside National. It's a humbling experience. Also just found out that they are opening a new national cemetery at Miramar. I believe that I am going to request burial there. I never served on that base, but my Brother-in-law has been stationed there for years now.

I spent many years with grandpaw putting flags on the graves of vets when I was a boy. My brother put the second flag on grandpaws grave this year (WWII).

I salute my brothers, here and gone! God speed!

I hope your dad knows we thank him for his service, Three tours is more than commendable. He deserves the best care available, As all of our military does.

Indeed sir. I have had the pleasure of serving with some great people from other countries and couldnt be more humbled to have had them along side us. Soon they will all be home where they belong

also a big welcome home to the 4th Infantry Division after a year in Afghanistan especially my good friend Sgt Mcdole
