Happy Veteran's Day America!

I was very fortunate to have retired in 2005 and I can still fit into my uniform:lol:

Add a photo of yourself if you have one.

In memory of all those who have given their lives, and in honor of all those who have sacrificed for our freedom, I offer my heartfelt gratitude now and always. God has blessed America, and may He continue to bless each one of you! Thank you for serving our country. :tiphat:

Thanks to all my fellow vets !

This was when I was heading back to duty from my parent's house after being on leave after finishing 10 weeks of boot camp, pic is from May 1970
(and no I couldn't fit into my uniform now even if I lost all my extra weight :lol: as I was only 17 years old at that time and still growing some I think :lol:)

Thank you for your service Gary!
The F-4 Phantom was my favorite aircraft for a long time.
We had the KC-135 refuelers at my Air Guard base.
 
Not a chance I can fit in my old uniform and I retired in 2011. Two back surgeries have insured my running days are over lol.

First tour in Iraq...I'm the dude with a face on the right.

To all the vets here at Friendly THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE. To those that are no longer with us.....SALUTE!

I retired from the USN in April 1978 and I no longer fit in my uniform. I did lose some weight a few years back and was able to fit but alas some of the weight has returned.
