Members sailorman Posted November 11, 2012 Members Share Posted November 11, 2012 I just sent a thank you email to my uncle. He served in Europe under Patton in WWII and returned with what we'd call post traumatic stress syndrome today. He still refuses to discuss it to this day. That sort of service should never be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the deepest respect for our veterans, alive and dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blue2blue Posted November 11, 2012 Members Share Posted November 11, 2012 War is hell, it leaves many marks on a man or woman. We should make it a solemn responsibility to take care of the military personnel we ask to work and fight for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s also about seeing things that you`re not supposed to. My father served in the Vietnam War, he never talks about it. I have tried to ask him about over the years, he finally said to me around 15 years ago, "War is hell". End of story. Never asked him again. We must never forget the sacrifice veterans have made for our freedom.God Bless all Veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raymar Posted November 11, 2012 Members Share Posted November 11, 2012 My Dad was a Korean vet(there's a war that doesn't get much mention) but he passed on nine years ago this month. I said Happy Veterans Day to a Nam vet that lives in my building. I also said, "so you did a tour over there huh, took some photos, sampled the cuisine?". With a chuckle he said, "yeah, I did everything over there". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 Speaking of veterans, I attended a Civil War Reenactment yesterday in Moorpark:http://www.elevenshadows.com/travels...rmoorpark2012/War is always hell, but when it's a civil war, that goes double. We must remember our veteran's courage and sacrifice, as monstermaker mentions above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
