Veteran's Day Roll Call

[storrsbred1]

ASA, Far East, 1961-1964

Went to a "long hair" concert tonight at a university and the orchestra played the National Anthem prior to the concert start. I was very moved and flabbergasted at the same time.

If you will pleas indulge me, I'd like to recognize my dad, who passed a little over two months ago.
He was in the army from 1943 until 1946, serving in India and what is now Pakistan. He was extremely proud of his service and his country.

We'll keep him in our prayers...

Holy Loch by Glasgow...great country...!

Dunoon was the closest decent size town. Though I got to Glasgow and Edinburgh a couple times.

Time for roll call...

To all my fellow veterans... God bless you... God bless America. And a prayer for those who sacrificed for us. May they never be forgotten.

I used to spend a lot of time in Paisley when I was working with the old Babcock UK boiler company...spent a lot of weekends prowling around Glasgow.

Nothing wrong with the weather that a nice single malt can't cure...!

I've never been in the military, but I do work in mental health for the Air Force at Osan AB in Korea (which is not really in Osan, but in Songtan). I've been here since Jan '09 and have 15 months left on my contract. See both and Army folks, as the local Patriot missile group is in our cachement area. Anyone coming to Korea give me a call.
