The Foxhole is a wonderful thread.. and a lenghty ping list...snippy will do it when she posts the thread early in the morning..now, you can dig up a pic of Diana Rigg and post it...I loved those stiletto heels, on the black boots..
My father went into the Merchant Marine after high school as a radio officer. The Navy probably saved him when they drafted him and made him a cook in Washington D.C.
Many, many thanks.
Dad was a cook in the merchant marine (as well as operating the radio from time to time.)
Thanks for the ping!
Bump for our Merchant Marine in harms way.
If you know of or admire a Merchant Marine, please submit them to the Merchant Marine Registry.
We'll check our by-laws and IRS non-profit guidelines, but it's likely we can't directly support any legislation, although this is directed exclusively to the benefit of veterans, which our charter may or may not allow. Any issue that becomes political to the advantage of a specific group may exlude us from participation. We'll take a look.
In the mean time, VetsCoR provides you and others a place to honor these forgotten service personell at www.portraitsoffreedom.org. We ask for a small one-time donation to memorialize these folks in perpetuity. They deserve it.
Thank you for caring.
Merchant Marine sailors made $1,500 per month while underway and Soldiers, Sailors and Marines made $21. No way in h-ll do they deserve a grand a month now. Uniformed veterans don't get that. Where do I sign up to fight this? It sounds like something out of their notoriously Commie union.
Bigtime bump, Mrs. Peel!
Keep me posted!
That is absolute crap. Who peed in your post toasties this morning?
MM made 75 times what soldiers sailors and marines made? You are out of your freekin mind!
This thread is so important, let's BTT!
