JoeM 7,874 #5 Posted November 10, 2023 When i was a teen i worked in a small town garage in the Summer. Remember the vets stories and did not know at the time not stories but a history lesson. I looked at a search on the web and found these gov numbers of persons that died during wars. not always in battle but during the war. The numbers are staggering. And not counting the endless amount of wounded or deformed. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the honor of being taught some American History by a veteran of Hamburger Hill. It was a VERY different experience hearing from him as opposed to just reading a book. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'67Craftsman's 151 #10 Posted November 11, 2023 Thank you for your service and sacrifice to all my veteran friends on our great forum here and beyond! You truly are the ones that keep our country free. While not a veteran myself, my dad was in the army so I truly do appreciate each and every one of you! \\ 2 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. P and I, the girls and two friends were at a hot dog and ice cream parlor in another town for lunch today. A man and his lady sat down and I noticed his Marine Veteran hat. I told the server I have their bill. I asked that they didn’t point who paid, just to thank them. We were the lucky ones! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howie 886 #13 Posted November 12, 2023 I just had that happen to me this evening. Was out for the evening meal and the waiter came by and told me mine was paid for. 2 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #14 Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) I hear you guys... there was a guy browsing in the gun section at a farm n barn on my way up nort. I had a satchel of beef jerky in my check out pile. Most if not all stores offered 10% off for Vets. When at the check out I over heard him ask for the discount. On the way out I thanked him for serving and gave my satchel to what I guessed was his grandson. Kid's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. So I don't have TV at camp to watch the Packer game so I went to the "hall... a tavrine" to watch it. I had a 40 dollar hamburger and asked the bartender if the discount was still good. She says your bill has already been paid for and pointed to muskie Bill who I hob nob with occasionally. I have no idea how he recognized me I was dressed in cognito. He wanted to get me drunk to relieve the loss... damn near win @Ed Kennell @squonk ... but I was piloting solo! Edited November 13, 2023 by WHX?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
