Thank you!
After reading all of this thread, thank you all for your service. Regretfully, I never served. I did not come to appreciate the sacrifice until later in life and I have had that luxury because of those that have served.
My dad served in the Navy in the Pacific during WWII, mostly on Guam. He was among the thousands training to invade Japan when they dropped the bomb. He passed 3 yrs ago at age 92.
My father-in-law was Army 42-45, saw action in Italy, was wounded and taken as a POW in April 45 until it ended. I read a book about the mission of his division. Hes been gone since 1980.
My DW and I appreciate you all, and give thanks every day for the public servants that keep us safe.
