I usually start this thread every year, but have fallen short a few times. If you are a veteran of your country's armed services or presently on duty, we would like to know. Please post your time of service and branch...even a little on where you have been stationed.

Thank you for serving and protecting the FREEDOM of all!

While I am legally a vet and have to put it on the paperwork, I don't consider myself to be one.

Hi gabby,

A salute to you and all the Aussie military!! Had the pleasure of meeting a few in Viet Nam. One crazy and tough bunch for sure! We moored next to the HMAS ALBION in Singapore during an R&R visit in 1968.

Hat off to each of you, this 11-11-2011, for your service to preserve the Liberties we all enjoy and my sympathy for all those who were less fortunate and didn't return.


I would have gone in around 1965 but a bad auto accident left me unable to serve per the draft board.
