Thread: Saying goodbye to a veteran this weekend.

Sorry for your loss, my dad now deceased landed on normandy at D Day and would be in shock to see how our country is today

sorry for your loss Ray prayers for you and your family
my brother which is 92 was in ww2 Korea and Vietnam a shell hit a jeep he was driving in nam and almost killed him
he lives in Ga. now and is doing pretty good to be 92. I thank him your brother-n-law and any other vet. that might read
this post for service to this United States of America. God Bless you all

Andrew's oldest brother served in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. He is 90 and still with us. Touch old shoe leather Jarhead.
Her brother closest in age served in Korea and Vietnam. He died from lung cancer about 5 years after retiring. I still believe it was Agent Orange, but he smoked so that was a convenient cause to blame it on.
Interesting note, he was the camera tech that took arial photos during the Bay of Pigs incident.
His family did not know I w where he was for about a month.

It should have read Andrea's brother. Didn't want y'all thinking I was married to someone named Andrew! . Stupid spell check.

Ray, these old guys are what make the USA what it was/is. My Dad served in the Merchant Marine right out of High School, In the Pacific , The Med and places in between.
I suppose they worried about how the world would turn out just as we do today.
Please thank Andrew's brother for his service while we still can.

Prayers sent! And the statement "THE GREATEST GENERATION" is an understatement!
Thanx to all who served, but especially those who served in 'Nam and were treated with
disrespect and spat upon, by the witless idiots and potheads of the time!

Salute to a Veteran. Thank you sir for your service to Our Great Country and to the local community you served.
Sorry for your loss Ray. May God welcome your BIL and welcome him into God's Army.

My Dad also served during the Korean Conflict. Sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers sent.

I am in the same boat with the age difference. I only have my brother left(11 yrs older) and he is declining. God Bless your wife's BIL.
