A tip o' th' hat to you for saluting our Coast Guard, too. The Coasties are the least understood of our services. They do an amazing variety of things for our country.<br /><br />«Louis» enjoyed your photos of the Chrysler Thunderbolt!Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-77389271654123964372012-06-08T00:05:15.835-04:002012-06-08T00:05:15.835-04:00I know my FIL was in the Navy for 24 years; I know...I know my FIL was in the Navy for 24 years; I know he retired a chief, but I don't know if there was anything else with it. I do know he was buried in his uniform but the medals were not included and hubby and BIL one day will mount them somehow along with the flag presented to BIL since FIL had a military funeral. I remember looking at the different metals and other things and hubby explaining what this was for and what that was for, but can I remember anything about it now? <br /><br />I think serving in the military is a very honorable thing; it does open up some opportunities for things afterwards, but it still a very hard job protecting our freedom. I do admire and respect all who are willing to serve, so like Sandie said, thanks Jack for serving (and you too Sherry :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-71611566932345675052012-06-07T22:31:55.662-04:002012-06-07T22:31:55.662-04:00My dad was in the NAVY.

You are right about it offering a way to see the world,provide discipline, etc. It is an option any young people choose toove their life forward. Will give my dad that link you showed. Sure he will enjoy it. TAKE CARE. PS. I just wanted you to know that the mass on my daughters liver is inoperable. It is a ball of blood vessels to vital organs all entwined, impossible to seperate. If any one of them gets nicked or ruptures, it means instant death for my daughter. NOT the news we were hoping for. But we continue to pray.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-724678591217266812012-06-07T22:29:40.491-04:002012-06-07T22:29:40.491-04:00My niece served in the navy - she married a man fr...My niece served in the navy - she married a man from the navy and their son is going into the navy next year when he graduates.<br /><br />I think the navy does a lot of great thing - for us and to the men and women who serve. They go in almost as children, but come out men and women.<br /><br />THANK YOU FOR SERVING JACK.<br /><br />sandieChatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-34225776154336680052012-06-07T22:01:03.678-04:002012-06-07T22:01:03.678-04:00One of my sons joined the military to see the worl...One of my sons joined the military to see the world and he certainly did a lot of that for sure. He also got some great schools in and learned a lot. He is still working for them but as a civilian now. None of my other sons had the desire to do so. My husband served, my father served , my son served. All were in wars. I'm proud of you all.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.com
