Veteran's Day

Phil9N3667 · Nov 10, 2016

My former boss, an ex-Marine, commented today how his boss thanked him a day in advance for his service to the country! We all should be grateful for those who serve today and those who went before us, sacrificing lives and freedom (as POW's). So, in honor of all our service members, past and present, a huge THANK YOU!! I hope to be able to see one DART's truck/trailer combos that Jonf showed pics of!!

He thanked him a day early because the day before Veterans' Day is the Marine Corps Birthday.

Don't tell him he's an "EX" Marine! Once a Marine always a Marine is what they believe!

One of my guys is a marine, been out of service for 20 years, but still a marine.

I always heard "Once a jarhead, always a jarhead". Is that the same?

You can't call them 'jarheads' anymore. They're now 'pinheads'........You can put something in a jar........

Tomorrow we are doing a little ceremony at the american legion and having pulled pork and I think chicken wings.

Attending a Vets day breakfast/program at the middle school this morning then a supper tonight at the legion house.

Thing this AM at the school with my 9 YO grand daughter (she begged) then pick up some hardware and a couple sheets of plywood. Just another day.

I agree. This country tossed us vets out with the trash years ago.

Goose · Nov 11, 2016

You got that right. There are no "ex" Marines, except for those who disgraced the uniform and title.

Goose · Nov 11, 2016

I might point out "Marine" is always capitalized.

ArleninOr · Nov 11, 2016

That is because we should be thanking our vet's everyday for protecting our freedom and our rights that we enjoy every day. Not just one day out of the year.

As long as it is all in fun I don't care what you call them as long as you have respect for them. I was in the navy and of course there is kidding back and forth, but I have a great respect for our Marines, as all should have. Their job can be tough and they have to be tough.
