The Veteran Thread

justkim · 11-10-2010, 10:38 AM

I am the daughter of a career Navy man...
I am the grand daughter of a Navy Bomber...
I was married to into the Navy...
I wanted to be a Marine...
They wouldn't take me because I REFUSED to sign over my daughter to my family...
Today I hold a American Flag for those who have fought and died and for those who continue to fight and die for our Country...
I am the daughter of a Patriot Guard Rider and I have been embraced by these fine men and women... They have pulled me into their fold... There isn't a thing they wouldn't do for me and I for them... They don't give a damn about who I love, they only care that I do love and that I give it my all... Just as they have done for their Country...
Thank You Veteran's!

Things I have from days gone by...
A bracelet from Vietnam that has the name of a MIA/KIA soldier
Pictures from Greece during WWII
The original copy of my grand fathers bombing missions and flight hours logged
A picture of a young man who was KIA, it has his address and everything on the back of it
Rubbings from the Wall that came through Colorado in 1987

I Love our Veteran's!
