Thanks to all who served, are serving and will service.

Thanks especially to my uncle, shot down over France and buried in the Normandy cemetery, and my dad, a Marine in Guadacanal, and my father-in-law, who took out a machine gun nest of Germans in the Hertgun forest and had his jaw blown off.

God bless all our veterans. Every last one of you, thank you.

It’s the one day of the year where there is such a thing as a free lunch.

A well-deserved one! Thank you for your service, LDAHL and thanks to the other veterans on this forum!

And to my family: My husband who served in the Marines, a brother in the Navy, another brother in the Air Force, and my third brother in the Army. They have all four major branches covered, and I'm so proud of them!

I also am grateful to all who served - Thank you!

My dad was on a Navy ship that was blown up, but he survived. Just part of it went kaboom, along with many sea men.

My mom tells the story that my father survived because he was easy to get along with. His superior Officer had just switched his bunk to another part of the ship to separate two bunk mates who were fighting. His former part of the ship got blown up.

Great stories, IL and Tybee!
