When men were men. God bless the families who loved them and lost many of them too soon in defense of our freedom.
God bless our veterans...and I’m proud to be one of them.
U.S. Army 1969 - 1972...enlisted. Viet Nam era.

Great graphic. Not a single man bun or pair of pajamas to be seen.
Metrosexual walked in the barbersop I was in before. He did not approve of us 5 real guys talking about Trump and how corrupt Hillary is. Then he had very specific haircut instructions for the barber. Quite a loser.
Knowing the probability of living for the next few minutes were slim, and did it anyway!
God Bless Them!
What a great image
a good opportunity to just say “Thank you” to all veterans on FR.
Thank you, Dad, 1924-2015. WWII, PH, Silver Star.
“All gave some, some gave all”
Never can thank these brave young men enough.
I had the honor of spending my Monday brunch with a group of about 15 veterans, most of whom were >90 and had served in WWII. It was very emotional for me.
One told his story of being on the team that buried the dead at Normandy. He said the brass didn’t want men coming ashore and seeing bodies lying around, and so they were buried quickly. At first right there in the sand, and later in makeshift cemeteries just inland. This man buried >300 the first day. He estimated that by the end of the war he had been involved in burying >60,000. Many of whom he later helped exhume and return home. It was a difficult story for him to tell. At his advanced age, and as emotional as he was, he wasn’t able to talk very loudly. But not one man in that room made a peep during his talk. The atmosphere of respect was palpable.
God Bless those men, and all of you veterans! Happy Veterans Day to all of you!
And Dad, if you’re reading this... I love you! Happy USMC birthday, and happy Veterans Day!
Did he get a manicure?
I have 3 middle aged sons and if they acted like some of these guys I’d smack ‘em.

Lordy, people sacrificed much to get us this far. I’ve been volunteering at Walter Reed for awhile. The first time was during our war with Iraq and they put me on the amputation ward.
I was overwhelmed with the amputee’s commitment to our country. Their “Safe Space” wasn’t about where they could seek sanctuary, it was about how they could help there fellow soldiers.
Contrast this with the image of those douchebag anarchist pussys rioting in Portland.
Men in colleges are a persecuted minority
Also known as a douche knot. :)
