Veterans Day

Just a quick note to the forum members who are Veterans - I'm sure there are a bunch of you. <span style="font-weight: bold">Thank you!</span> It is because of your service that we have the freedom to enjoy our cars and these forums and I, for one, am grateful to you.

They didn't have a "salute" icon, so I gave you all a "thumbs up".

My husband is also a Viet Nam era veteran. He was a Captain in the Air Force. He was stationed in Mass. but was very involved in what was going on in Nam.

My cousin was a Captain in the Coast Guard. He graduated first in his class at the Coast Guard Academy.

My nephew is in the W. Va. Air National Guard and a Putnam County Sheriff's Deputy.

A close friend of ours was one of the "Screaming Eagles" during the conflict in Korea.

We owe a great debt to the members of all of our armed services.

The City has put up a Veterans' Memorial in one of the local public parks. Yesterday was its dedication. They sold bricks with your veteran's name on it to help pay for it, and I am proud to say my dad and all my uncles have bricks in the Danville-Pittsylvania County Veterans' Memorial.

If you've never been here http://www.dday.org/, make an effort. Two of my uncles and several of their friends were there on D-Day and survived.

Also- US 29 in Virginia is designated the 29th Infantry Division Memorial Highway.

To all those who Served and Sacrificed, A <span style="font-size: 20pt">BIG THANK YOU</span> grin.gif

And may those who never came home, not be forgotten for they paid the <span style="font-size: 20pt">ultimate price</span> to keep us <span style="font-size: 20pt">Free</span>. frown.gif
