Veterans Day 2009

[KnuckleChild87]

Today is Veterans Day. Today we remember the service of veterans past & present, and the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for their country.

My grandfather served with the US Navy during the Korean War aboard the Light Cruiser USS Worcester CL-144. If you have a family member or friend who has served, please feel free to tell us.

Neighbor went to Iraq. Is being redeployed thanks to stop-loss policy despite the fact that his wife is pregnant and expecting soon.

Know a medic from Nam that got grenade shrapnel in his spine and can't use his legs.

I didn't know that Veteran's day was linked to 9/11. :O

What?... Its 11/11 not 9/11 they are 2 different dates...

My grandpa was shot in the knee in 1943 during the war and he then joined Dad's army in England. May god rest his soul at a ripe old age of 89... He had a good life
Nowadays i follow my Grandpa in his choice of being a millitary man and i may have to do my time next year for the RAF but it is undecided.
