 Service
All of us who served did so for our own reasons. Many from patriotism, some from economic necessity, some from just not knowing what else to do. A few had the judge's choice of jail or service. No one owes us anything, we owe the country a debt for our freedom. Some of us were lucky enough to just pay with time and sweat, others, less lucky, with blood, and many with their lives. Service is what all Americans owe our country for the freedoms we enjoy that were paid for by our forefathers who sacrificed for us. Freedom is never free, but it's a debt that has to be payed forward so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy it. At least that's how I feel. I will admit it's nice to see today's warriors getting the respect that my generation was denied by the nation. Happy Memorial Day Spyder riders.

My father served in WWII. He enlisted when he was 36 years old. Spent his time in Sherman Tanks, was the only one of his crew to survive the war. My aunt was one of the women pilots that flew the planes to overseas bases and delivered them to the combat pilots. My service went for 27 years, from Vietnam to the Desert. Our two sons were Air Force and Marines. The only war we did not cover was Korea and I know someone would of been there if they would have been of age.
To all who have served and to those still serving my family says "THANK YOU"

I appreciate this sentiment. 10 years USN, including a tour in-country Vietnam. Proud of my service, but not so proud of the politicians that have and continue to send young people to their fate in far-away wars that have nothing to do with defending America. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. What a waste of life and resources.

Nicely said. The civilian community's job starts when service members come home and try to start their lives over again. Some communities understand that and others think that a nod to veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans' Day is all they owe to those who serve. WRONG. That is a very shallow form of patriotism and all too common in many of the communities I've lived in since service. I must say though that after coming to live in Utah, I feel truly recognized and appreciated.
Sorry about the rant. Thanks for recognizing our service.

One more thought.....
Memorial Day honors those who paid the ultimate price defending our country.
Veterans Day honors those who served.
Armed Forces Day honors those who currently serve our nation.
Freedom is not Free: it is paid by blood, sweat, tears and lives of those who have the courage to defend this country. As I mentioned last year, 7% is all who have ever served. I thank those men and women for their service to this great nation. Cheers! Joe

This coming Saturday June 3, 2017, a group that I co-chair "Honor Flight of Southern New Jersey" will be taking 5 bus loads of WWII, Korean and some Viet Nam veterans to see their memorials. Some for the very first time. We go every year on the Saturday closest to June 6th (D-DAY). We will have police and close to 100 Motorcycles ( a number of different clubs including the Legion Riders and the Nam Knights) escorting the busses. As a lot of the MC's peal off as the busses leave NJ some MC's will continue for the complete trip but will also be joined by Legion Riders and Nam Knights MC from each state we go through to continue the escort down to DC.
As we go through the towns on the bus route the local Police stop traffic and salute the Veterans as they pass. if anyone wants to see any pictures go to

Miss Diva,
I appreciate you showing us the video. I remember after 911, my daughter surprised me when she and a friend went to a public ceremony honoring America. I didn't realize until then that Imy service had rubbed off on her.
Test message.

Thank you
Thanks for the video. Very moving. Such an important message!
Our oldest daughter is currently serving in the US Army, our nephew is serving in the Navy, my brother and our fathers have all served. We thank them all and everyone who is now serving or previously served.
Your sacrifices for our freedom is something we can never fully thank you for.

Today, on June 6, 1945, the invasion of Europe began. The results would change the course of history. Bless and thank those few who are still with us

Wish I had seen this sooner. My father also served in the Sherman as a loader. Tried to enlist at 16 or 17 if I remember correctly but got turned away because he was too young. At 18 was accepted. Originally went to glider training until he saw a wing come off one in flight. Ended up in a tank instead and finished at the rank of Sergeant because of so many above him getting blown up by the 88’s. Was in Dauchau 8 days after liberation and said it just smelled of death. He hated the sound of the German language for the rest of his life.
He came home with what I am now sure we would call PTSD but back then you didn’t talk about it. Had a good career in the CIA but family life had some challenges.
So again, thank you to all who put on a uniform no matter what your duty, and for those of you for whom the memories never leave your thoughts, may you find your peace.
