Thank you vets ? Where would we be without their service

[slammin]

Graduating from high school in the Vietnam era, it is great to see how are service men (and women) are appreciated and honored today. As stated many times, the land of the free because of the brave!

[Jeff/Illinois]

slammin I'll take that a step further. We all know about the Greatest generation, the WWII guys and yes they were and are, the few that are left.

But, the Vietnam vets are today's Greatest Generation. They put up with more pure crap from everybody than any other veterans group,constantly attacked by the media over here, did their duty to God and Country, and came out shining. They are the ones who saved this country from steadily turning in the wrong direction, in 2016.

God bless them each and every one.

Amen

Today is the day I look back and remember the friend I was going to join the Marines with on the buddy system in 1989. He had already enlisted and I had signed my papers and went to Meps. At Meps the docs failed me because of my shoulder made a popping noise when rotating it. 5 years later he was medicly discharged after an accident. He and I spent some time catching up and always felt guilty for letting him down on such a technacality. In 1999 his brother graduated from highschool the same day his girlfriend graduated from college. He went to his brothers graduation and then began the 250 mile drive to make the recepion for his girlfriend who he had planned to propose to that night. He never arrived as his pickup blew a front tire and he went off the road into a deep ravine. He was killed almost instantly. A true man of integrity and GREAT friend who is impossible to replace.

I know the day means much more, but can not help to take this day to remember. Rod

stuff like that is such a shame, and it hurts. You will never forget your friend, and neither will anyone else who knew him

that sure looks like a piston to that humongous diesel genset in the next pic. How many KW?

[2manycars]

That is a piston, and the top half of the rod is standing next to me. 600KW at 600 rpm Superior Diesel. That was in Lybia. Big engines.
