My late grandfather was Navy back in the day, miss him everyday......

 

One grandfather (just passed a few months ago) was a marine in Vietnam. The other grandfather was a mechanic in the army in Korea (still kicking). Father was in the air force for several years.

Proud of them all.

Hmmm, there's already a thread dedicated to Veteran's Day in this forum: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...hlight=veteran

 

^^ That thread is 3 years old and is now closed. I don't see a problem starting a new one this year for all the new folks who may not know there is an old thread which has not been posted in since 2010.

Probably have multiple Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy whatever holiday, etc, etc.....threads every year, unless you want to sticky a "Happy Holiday" thread and everyone use that to post their salutations of whatever holiday they wish to celebrate.....

 

Two I know:

Patrick P. (I know, he'll blow my head off for using his full name, who cares, lol. j/k). Served in the Navy on submarine duty, from what he has told me he was in charge of the functions of making oxygen and water. Pat is a CHARACTER. He's in his mid 60s and still throwing, um setting square bales around. Lol. Great guy.

Mark M. Mechanical Engineer (IDK what branch).
