Luckily I had bean raised in a very Military family and had it distilled into my heart and soul that people like them make the Ultimate sacrifice. Colt .45 I also thank you for your service. as I do all Men (and women) in Uniform! Thank God for you people! I was not old enough for the happenings of Vietnam But damn it if I had scene them treat you or any vet like they had I'd explode in to their face! (Got to go chill out) :)
Ok Back now.... I loved My Grand Father... He was one of the best men in my life. A Marine who had flown in three War conflicts beginning with WW2 I would be damned to see some one spit on what he had done. Colt . 45 - Please know that there are many Civvies out here that are not as I call them 'Plastic patriots' Who flew the flag for two weeks after 9/11 and afterward forgot they were Americans all over again...
God Bless Sir.
Thank you for this moving testament.
It puts a face on one of those young men in that theater of conflict far away and some time ago.
They were real flesh and blood with families, friends and communities that knew them and their sacrifice.
Now we know too.
