Your welcome to it my friend :cheers: Keep in mind our trike riding brothers and sisters though, you wouldnt want to offend any one:ugh::hehe: Take care and ride safely dear friend Yours Hank |
isnt it great how our service members, past or present,
are now thanked openly, saluted, nowadays it is a honor to be a service member. i remember going on my honey moon in Pittsburgh, Intl. our home area, 1 guy thanked my hubs, he was spit on 3 times in Atalanta where we transferred to LA. a guy, young punk, same age as us, threw spaghetti on him. in LA omg it was totally TOTALLY horrible He had on his beret, at that time only 1 group was allowed to wear 'em, But those memories ares so clear, i really would love to see him in his beret, and uniform in todays atmosphere. he wouldnt be proud, he'd be humble but just as im sure you guys appreciate the thanks, but realize those that can, do. Not all men are created equal. thanks guys for 'walking that line' http://i1071.photobucket.com/albums/...14951-0007.jpg http://i1071.photobucket.com/albums/...Badgesvg-1.png |

My sincere condolences on your loss I salute your Husband, and im saddened that i wont have the chance to meet him shake his hand and thank him And i do remember the bad times and the good as i served from 1979 to 2003 Take care and ride safely dear friend Yours Hank |
Hank....1981-2003 here. So hey..that means we are no longer 'Fleet Reserve' we are fully retired instead. Shouldn't we get a notification of that? I have not..
@ terrilee I am sorry as well... times then were horrible for service members..but then..even today we have groups that spit on troops...hold up signs that say "The only good soldier is a dead one"...and many that protest at military funerals. All while living in the comforts of their free society..which was brought to them courtesy of men such as your hubby. The audacity of such behaviour makes me irate. They have freedom because of those they condemn..yet they don't have to balls to join and be a part of their freedom. It is similar to those with armed body guards..preaching to us that we have no rights to firearms or self protection. *Steps off his Soap Box*.. :) |
we were in from '75-'86
and hankers thanks you but you knew all that, lol but i understand you alot better now then 2 yrs or more ago when we met im sure he'd like you alot, except ur a Fing squid :shrug: love ya bud |

@cara tyvm become a PGR Patriot Guard Rider, except as PGR you are NOT allowed to beat 'em up or u'll get kicked out there was one ride i was on, i almost, almost so Fing close got kicked off but the other guys held me back and covered my mouth. as PGR your just supposed to stand there and take it BUT the main purpose to block the view and movement of them sickos, so the family can have some peace . And to ride in honor for their sacrifice |

Maybe so :shrug: But i was was of that rare breed that faced their enemy personally not just from shipboard Your familiar with these im quite sure http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7104/7...1336f5d7_z.jpg CH C by inuyasha50, on Flickr Take care and ride safely dear friend Yours Hank |
LOL
im sure he would say this...... well we will take 3-4 points off , cause your a squid, but since you have that coin? we will give u 99 points well come join us, let me buy you a drink, wanna come over the house for dinner? etc etc there is really something VERY unique among all spec ops groups. they know, they know what each team is capable of. not saying NON spec ops people arent brave, great soldiers, sailors etc but spec ops are spec ops. i dont have to explain this to you i still have his challenge coin. http://i1071.photobucket.com/albums/...leeS/beret.jpg |
All of you were more or less dam lucky. So was I. Vietnam and Korea and Japan and the closest I came to getting scared was an ofd duty South Vietnamese soldier pulled a pin at the end of the alley I lived on in Saigon and blew himself apart. In fact so lucky I have been half ashamed till recently.
Yes, it is nice that a few civilians act like they think we are not dirt. But I noticed that the sales clerks at Lowes no longer say anything about it, when I show my ID and ask for the 10% discount. They used to thank us for our service. But pay attention to the US governement. Pay attention to how our damaged brotheres are treated. A friend who had his knees permanently damaged from a bad chute landing is still waiting for surgery and I have no doubt it will not come before he goes on Medicare and thus gets off VA's budget. The VA is underfunded. It always has been and always will be. Your retirement with not keep up with the real changes in the cost of things you buy Hank, . I could go on, but I think we all know the drill. Look at the homeless and the suiside and unemployed statistices. Frankly, as a businessman, I hate the fact that I often cannot find a younger vet that I can trust with with my customers. I think it is a serious problem. I am a bit worried about it. But those of you as young as Hank perhaps need to worry more. lefty2 |

I remember reading an article years ago in Kerrang (British Metal Mag) when he was being interviewed, he was wearing a tiny button and when the reporter leaned over to examine it, it read: "nosey f***er aren't you?" Typical Lemmy.

Lloyd...I can tell by your writings and enjoy them VERY much...that you can take a man out of the military..but you shall never take the military out of such man. I keep a Journal on my PC of all my thoughts and writings...it is very therapeutic for me. Here it is my friend--> Observations on life by Glenn #6470: Fear is not reality...it is just a product of thoughts we create in or minds..... Danger is very real....but fear is a choice.... Lloyd...thank you for your service..and the traditional "Welcome home brother" is in order...:tup: |
@ Hank Ya I know I have been a fan for a long time. But he does know how to speak... He truly is a great mind when it comes down to it. He's still very Hardcore. The first tattoo I got was done by an artist that knew him and worked on him...
He definitely let's you know what he thinks and expresses himself well |

Are we not Hardcore as well my friend? so to speak Take care and ride safely dearest friend Yours Hank |

I was one of the many that hid in shame for so long for doing just one thing. Our moments are running out day by day. |

+100 And if i may add this What is a Veteran? Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye.Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking. He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel. She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang. He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back AT ALL. He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs. He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by. He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep. He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket - palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known. So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say Thank You. That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded. Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU". "It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag." Father Denis Edward O'Brien/USMC Take care and ride safely Yours Hank |
