A Complete Waste of Space

Take a moment.

Thank You R_D for the moment of reverence.

Yup we took a minute at work today, what else was sad the dude that i buy my poppies and anzac badges from passed sometime since april ww2 vets are getting rarer and rarer

Thanks.

Thanks to all on here that served, for the US and worldwide.

As I do every Nov 11, I called the oldest vet of my acquaintance, my dad, to start my day(not his, the man gets up ungodly early at age 91).

Thanks again.

I called my grandpa, he'd have been happier if I'd have called him yesterday on his beloved Corps birthday. However, I did say a few words to Chesty Puller. Gramps was ok with that.

Hey Squid!

U.S. Navy 1971-1977
Attack Squadron 82, (A-7C and E's) CAG-8, USS AMERICA, WESTPAC 1972-1973. Service in Viet Nam
Fighter Squadron 201 (F-8F's) NAS Hensley Field Grand Prairie, TX '74-'77
AO2 ( Airdale BB stacker )

I missed Nam by a few years, Thank God. I was Quartermaster QM2. for 2+ years I was the only qualified helmsman onboard ship, always behind the wheel in an out of port and during UNREP's and at 19years old.
I made 1 WestPac saw Pearl, Pohang Korea, Buckner Bay Okinawa, Hong Kong, Subic Bay Phillipines, Singapore, Phataya Beach Thailand, Columbo Sri Lanka, the always popular Diego Garcia, and Perth Australia. 7 months away from home.

It's ashame that America and Belleau Wood suffered the same fate. its funny how you can become attached to a hunk of steel.

Belleau Woods final moments
