CELEBRATING MY VETERANS
http://fubar.com/celebrating-my-veterans/b54449-603247

AS WE CELEBRATE THIS DAY, I THINK BACK ON ALL THE TIMES MY DAD HAD TO DO HIS WEEKEND DUTY AND THE GIFTS HE BROUGHT HOME. WHEN I WAS SMALL I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING. BUT NOW THAT I AM OLDER AND ALOT WISER I HOPE, I REALIZE JUST WHAT A HERO HE IS. MY DAD IS A 41year RETIRED GUNNY FROM THE MARINE CORP. OR SHOULD I SAY IN THE MARINE CORP. BECAUSE ONCE A MARINE ALWAYS A MARINE. HE FOUGHT IN KOREA AND IS ONE OF THE FROZEN CHOSIN. MOST OF YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. I HAVE HAD A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY FIGHT IN EVERY WAR SINCE THE UNITED STATES BEGAN. ONE GREAT STORY IS OF A GREAT GRANDFATHER THAT WAS AT SAN JACINTO WHEN SANTA ANNA WAS CAPTURED. AND THE OTHER STORIES MY DAD TELLS. MY LITTLE BROTHER WAS ALSO IN THE PERSION GULF WHEN IT ALL BEGAN IN 91. SO WE HAVE A LONG MILITARY HISTORY. THE SLIDE SHOW THAT IS IN HERE ARE OF SOME PICTURES I TOOK WHEN THE NEW MARINE CORP NATIONAL MUSEUM WAS OPENED IN VIRGINIA LAST YEAR. TO ALL OUR VETERAN'S PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE....SEMPER FI
