A good gesture. I’ve been privileged to know a man that crossed the beach at Omaha beach and a man who survived Iwo Jima. Plus several other men who served their country from all the wars since WWII. When I say privileged, I should probably say blessed. To all my fellow vets thanks.
Equine1952, you are blessed.
Thank you for your service.
I’m the son of a man who was on the one surviving Taffy 3 Destroyer at the Battle of Leyte Gulf; I once had the good fortune to talk to an uncle who served in the Army of Northern Virginia; one of my grandfathers went up San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt and the other fought in France in WW1. My cousin drew the Stars and Stripes WW2 cartoon, “Willie and Joe”, and I rode swift boats on the rivers and coast of Viet Nam.
I too say thanks to my fellow vets.

My boss at C. Reiss Coal served on a destroyer in support of the D Day invasion.
He’s in his 90s today, still golfs nine holes each week down in Florida.
