Take a minute today and tell a vet thanks for the service.
Also,
Bert Bank will be honored in Birmingham as the recipient of the National Veterans' Award. RTR
Also, my dad sent me this via email this morning and I wanted to share,
-----------
I don't know if you saw this in the news,
but it really impressed me.
Because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC,
our US Senate/House took 2 days off
as they couldn't work.
The military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.
They refused. "No way, Sir!"
Soaked to the skin, marching in the
pelting rain of a tropical storm,
they said that guarding the Tomb
was not just an assignment,
it was the highest honor
that can be afforded
a service person.
The tomb has been patrolled
continuously, 24/7, since 1930.
TO all the vets past, present and future..............GOD BLESS YOU ALL and Semper fi
