Definition Of A Veteran

A veteran - weather active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve-
is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable
to The United States of America, for an amount of up to and including my life.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer
understand it.
Please send your reunion pictures to Charlie cdbrown5@yahoo.com or preferably a
CD with the highest resolution possible. I'll get them posted ASAP.

MY FATHER WAS ON THE USS STRIBLING DD-867
AROUND 1941-1945
LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM ON THE SHIP ,AND SEE HOW TO GET A COPY
OF HIS RECORDS AND METALS. HE USED TO TELL ME THERE WAS ALSO A
METAL HE HAD NOT RECEIVED.

HE WAS A COOK-
SEEMS HE SAID HE SHOT A QUAD 40 MM-BUT NOT SURE
GRADUATED AT GREAT LAKES
WAS AT GITMO

WHEN I WAS SMALL, I SEEN HIS RANK PATCH, RIBBONS AND HAVE SOME PICS.
ALL I CAN FIND IS HIS PICS
