No offense here, either. BTDT and, more than once.

USAF '58-'63 mostly at Homestead AFB

 

And a most heartfelt thanks to all my brothers for their service of this great nation.

@Jim from Easy Wood Tools you may have not served, but you are now!

Thank you sir for raising such a fine young man to serve, our nation is in debt to your family for putting forth a fine young man in our service.

And your dad, now that is a cool image! Is your dad still with us today?

Jim, my dad too, was a member of that elite but unsung group. He island hopped from Pearl all the way to Okinawa. 

He used to say about the Marines landing at Iwo "Who the Hell you think cleared the beach for them?"

They built the roads the enemy retreated on!
