I FOUGHT FOR YOU..................

[redneck diva]

sorry this thread isn't about Spyders in general,,,,,,, but if it wasn't for people like this video is reflecting on, none of us would be able to enjoy our Spydys.......

it doesn't have to be Memorial Day or Veterans Day to watch a video that should 100% be the #1 video on the internet.

my heart & tears or pride are overflowing every time I watch this video & I want to personally say THANK YOU to all the men & women of the Armed Forces & I Love each & every one of you.

:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes: :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes: :yes::yes:

time to pull this video out & circulate it again, we can never give enough Love, Time, Prayers, Support & so much more to the ones that let us do the things we enjoy today................


also going to add to the video with another video that my 14 yr old son showed me........................... me personally am not too fond of the heavy metal type music but the message that the song is saying & the video is delivering is more than worth taking a few minutes of your time to listen & reflect..............................

thanks each & every day to all of our military members & their families, for what you do & have done allow me to enjoy the freedom that I have to ryde my spyder & so many more things.......

:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

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

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"

Remember heroes don't wear capes, they wear dog tags!

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.
