THANKS TO ALL THE VETERANS ON VETS DAY 2015

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL — Mon, 09 Nov 2015 18:03:33 -0500

Thanks to all the Veterans who have served and ultimately made the ultimate sacrifice. Thanks to all past, present and future Veterans for my freedom in America (freedom is not free). I am proud to have served with all in defending Duty, Honor and Country for the United States of America.
Its' nice to have a legacy as a Veteran for a lifetime and a pleasure to have served with all, what a noble act for mankind.

Thank you SFC for your service to this nation. Without you believe it or not, there would be a missing cog in the wheel, Everyone serves a purpose big or small in the safeguarding of America and her interests (Are the Coasties part of this? lol). I might be staring in DD214, but should the call ever go out, I'll be beside everyone here yelling in the broken English we use in the military. Thanks to those who came before me (SGT Warren Leftwich, and SFC William M. Swan), those who were with me (everyone on this site pretty much), and those who took the watch when it was my time to let go (everyone who came after me).
"NO MISSION TO DIFFICULT NO SACRIFICE TO GREAT...DUTY FIRST"!!!

I had a Veteran's Day to remember. I've taken the day to visit Lisbon. While on a tour bus I looked at a military museum and saw an official gathering - I immediately knew what it was, so got off the bus and went to it. Today is the official Veteran's recognition day for Portugal! I got there just as the ceremony began. They had detachments from each branch of service in parade along with military band. There were speeches and laying of wreaths in front of the remains of "The Unknown Soldier". Once the wreaths were laid and speeches given, the casket with the remains (under the national colors) was returned to the chapel. Then all units did a Pass & Review, was impressive. Later on I was talking to a taxi driver and some old guys came up and by the pins on their suits I could tell they were vets. I asked the taxi guy to translate for me and we talked. Come to find out one of the guys had been in Angola in '62. I told him I was a retired SGM from the USA, he smiled and dug out his hip flask, and said it was to share for comrades. I took a drink, Soon two others came and I had to drink from their flasks as well. We shook hand, smiled and parted. The Brotherhood-of-arms knows no language barriers. Even though I was in a different country, I felt like I was remembering my own as well.

I just got back from lunch, and while I was there this lady was leaving. She is a 98 year old WWII vet and was on Iwo Jima. All of us got up and and hugged her and thanked her for her service. It made all of our days. Sweet, Sweet, lady.
