Memorial Day and You Vets...

[Baby Tran Cat]

I plan on taking a few days and headed to the island tomorrow for the holiday.

Just a quick thank you to all our veterans here on WEA.

Post up if you served! When, with who, where? Thought this could turn into a pretty cool thread...

Thank you for your service!

Indeed! My parents were both in the navy during WWII, both stateside stationed at Whiting Field, Pensacola. Dad was a Naval Aviator and flight instructor and mom was a paymaster. And my father in law, also Navy, saw action in the Pacific Theater and lost half his crew mates at Iwo Jima.
Thanks to them and all the rest who did their parts to keep the US and the rest of the world safe!
