Thanks Dennis for bringing date up. And thanks to all the Vets of all wars.

As on every day of the year I am always thankful for the sacrifices that our brave men and women have made throughout our history so that we can be a free nation. From the American Revolution to Normandie, Guadalcanal, Inchon, Hue City, Beirut, Granada, Bhagdad, and Kabul, we raise our right arms in salute and tribute. To all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us, thank you.

Also, let us not forget November 10, 1775. Tun Tavern Pennsylvania. A few good men got together and they were called the Continental Marines. Today they are known as The United States Marine Corps. Happy Birthday to all current and former Marines.

it is for getting the softer recruits back in basic training after they become injured....

Doesn't sound like the old time Marine Corp to me. Back in the day, [arn't you completely sick and tired of hearing that?] that was the job of the Drill Sergeant or George Patton.

I never get tired of watching that movie. I'm getting it ready for our next rainy day.

Thanks, Woody.

My Grandpa's boat was a little thing named the "Arizona". By a twist of fate, grandpa was stateside in Dec 1941.

I have always and will always stand and salute those who have served to protect what we enjoy. It is not forgotten or unacknowledged. I hope to never have occasion understand what those who have been in combat have gone though. We who have not been there will never understand what those who have been there have gone through.

But I hope those who have been in combat and/or served in the military know that there are MANY who know and appreciate what our military brothers and sisters have done and are doing.

SALUD!

Our company replaced all the windows on the 3 or 4 previous BEQ remodels previous to the new one Woody is building.

I don't know about after there injured but I didn't witness any soft treatment for the recruits. It's amazing those DI's can still talk at the end of the day.
