Subject: do you know anyone who is a veteran or is currently serving?

do you know anyone who is a veteran or is currently serving in the military?

it can be anyone, friends, family/relatives, acquaintances etc.?

my father served in the marines 30 years ago. he was 22 when he decided to join. he was stationed in alot of different places like arizona, okinawa ,california, philippines etc. as a engineer. most people think that engineers mostly fix things like vehicles and equipment but my father used to blow up -blam!- and build things like bridges and fortifications. he didn't serve in any wars though

what about you flood?

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Kinda, but I don't know any one of those individuals that well.

Grandfather on my moms side was in WWII (Army). Took a grenade to the everything then shot the guy who threw it at him.

Dad was in the Navy during Vietnam. Went on some expeditions up rivers in landing craft and such. He also did some contract work in Afghanistan and Iraq in the mid 2000's. (He's is in his 60's at this point. FRONT LINE kinda contract work.)

I'm also friends with a ww2 wellinton bomber pilot. He lives here in Australia now. He lives at the retirment home where my mum works. He knows that i'm going to join the RAAF and he signed a paper that he was in for me saying "remember to watch airspeed on approach". His name is monty and he's always happy too, Its kind of amazing to talk to someone that served in ww2.
