A shout out to our Veterans

[The motor guy]

I don't think our veterans get enough praise in this country and I know we have quite a few on this site, so I just wanted to take a moment and say thanks for doing all that you do, and sacrificing the time away from loved ones. I know it's not easy, nor is it safe.




Other posters feel free to add on as i'm not the best at giving praise. lol

Thanks again guys and (gals)

Well thanks. I always feel uncomfortable when people thank me in public when they find out I am a veteran. I joined the army for personal reasons but when it came time to step up I felt a sense of personal pride and patriotism. Granted I didn't see as much as many combat vets but I was part of the group that caused the carnage on hwy 8. It changed my life.

A C-2A greyhound transport plane was destroyed when it crashed into the sea near aircraft carrier USS Constellation. All six crew members and 21 passengers were killed.
The airplane operated on a personnel transportation flight from Cubi Point to USS Constellation. The aircraft carrier was on active duty during the Vietnam War at the time of the accident. The airplane came down about 16 km from the ship. It was suspected that the airplane struck the sea following an engine failure.

We had a burial at sea tribute, did not make the national news..............Oct of 1969

I was in the USCG in the late '70s, early '80s. I didn't see any action as the Vietnam war was over.
