I have nothing but the utmost respect for those that volunteer for the job, the hardships of missing family, and the potential loss of life or limb...

Maacoshark:
    In Canada we call it Remembrance Day. Same thing.

 I’m doin a shots for:
My Stepdad (C-130 in Nam)
My Paternal Grandfather (volunteered for WW2, but was refused to go to Europe and had to stay in Mi and build plane and tank engines)
and my Maternal Grandfather:  (volunteered for WW2 when he was a junior, signed up for the 101st the day after his graduation, parachuted on D-Day. fought in the Buldge, and raided the Eagles Nest)
and my cousin, who I don’t know what exactly he did in Iraq, but I know he’s one hell of a shot. . .

Maacoshark:
    My grandfather fought in WW1. He was involved in the Third battle of Ypres also known as the battle of Passchendaele. Wish I got to know him better but he passed when I was 6 years old. I do know that he didnt like talking about the war.

That reminds me, Great-Grandfather was a Medic WWW1. . .


Yeah, my grandfather didn’t talk much about the war either, accept about all the stuff Hitler kept in the Eagles Nest
