About Me |
|
| We dedicate this space to all past and present Veterans of our Military. Carla and I thank veterans everyday of our lives for all that we have because of their unselfish commitment to protect our way of life. When we plan our vacations it's centered around our troops and our freedom. We visit Washington DC every year and we always visit the wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital to support them during the worst time in their life. In December we attended the 65th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. It was very moving to hear the stories from the survivors that were able to attend and a lot of sorrow to see the Arizona lay at the bottom of the harbor still entombing the poor guys that were killed. There are not many WWII survivors left and the numbers are reducing fast every year. We meet so many nice people during our journeys and we keep in touch with all if we are able to get a e-mail or home address. We send out hundreds of Veterans Day cards vs Christmas cards. I hope that everyone gets to meet some of these heroes and feel what we feel. It only takes a handshake and a thank you to show your appreciation. If you get a chance to visit DC in Memorial Day you will have the time of your life. Rolling Thunder holds their gathering at that time and there are around 500,000 motorcycles present. Rolling Thunder was organized by Viet Nam vets and their purpose is to raise money for charities and also the most important never forget your Vet! So go out and find the vet's, it's not hard to find them and thank them for their service and our freedom and watch their faces light up. They will give you the best history lesson you ever had. | |
