td Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I agree each and every person that has ever served deserves to be honored. I personally want to thank you for every freedom I have. Make sure you tell a Veteran thank you today. I have on several occasions. It really is a small token for what you people have given for us.

Quacker37 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 My dad served in the Air Force from 83-04. My brother and sister in law are both in the Air Force now. Growing up as a military brat you get to see the sacrifices made by families all the time. So not only thank a Vet todya but pray for and thank their families for all that they go through with the Vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tigersvoice Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 In the U. S. Army in 1957 - 1959 serving at the NIKE Guided Missle Firing Range, Red Canyon Range Battalion, Carizozo, New Mexico. This was a semi-secret facility on the north end of the White Sands Testing Range. In that time in the United States' history the NIKE guided missle was a key part of the nation's national defense with batallions stationed all around the borders of the United States - particularly in the Pacific Northwest and the Canadian Border.

SETXsports Broadcaster Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I live in Jasper but I work over here in Ft Polk, somebody asked me the other day why I do that. The only thing I could think of was the fact that I was working around all these young soldiers, young just like I was many years ago. Being tough, or thinking I was tough. Ready to go at any time. I just love it, they keep me young, and I see myself everyday in their faces and their ways. I tell people who ask me what it was like, the only truthful answer I can give them is there are days I had the best of times , laughing so hard I would get sick. Then there were days that I couldnt stop crying and wondering why I was here at all. But the good Lord blessed me, I was one of the many that made it thru the times. Now I laugh a lot more, but yet still shed tears when I think of my buddies that did not make it.....Here to you buddies....love you with all my heat...God Bless everyone of them, I know he has.
