First off, thanks to the Asbells for making their banner space a veteran thank you. Second, here's a tip of the glass to all my veteran brothers. Thank you, everyone of you. We had the high privilege of defending the greatest nation on earth. So get in here and post a pic. Lets see what we all looked liked way back then. Here's a picture of me, and one of my Dad.

God Bless America.

2003. Leading a patrol through Fallujah during the invasion.

Me (on the right with the gas gun) and my shooter in 2012 on my 4th deployment. Be on my 6th soon. This picture was taken directly after a night raid that "ran late".

Thanks to all you men that came before me! Appreciate what you did back then!

Thank you all for your service. My grandson just completed basic training in the Marines. He is now a Marine. We are all proud of him.

Sooo long ago

Serving this great nation is a family affair for us. My time has come and gone, but my amazing wife has taken up the mission.
     

This is us at the Marine Corps Birthday Ball last year.

This pic is right before the only/1st DA mission ever conducted with Afghani aircraft and pilots. It was interesting to say the least...lol

Sorry no pics, but my daughter and I both served. She gave the ARMY 9 years and received an Honorable Discharge in 2003. I received my Honorable Discharge from the USAF 1976.
God bless all of you who served.

Seven years ago when I retired. I'm the good looking one on the right!
