There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Yes. Let us never forget those who died in service of their country. And those veterans who are still with us.

I fly 2 flags; the 50 star and a 48 star to commemorate the 405,000+ Greatest Generation who did not come back. The 48 star flag is the most beautiful flag the world has ever known. Millions cheered that flag as it displaced the swastika and meatball flags as it liberated their villages, towns, cities and entire countries. Tens of thousands, who hadn't smiled in months or years, smiled as that flag liberated Nazi concentration camps. That beautiful flag was the ensign on every US Navy ship as it helped to overcome the enemies in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I am proud to have served on one of them, the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga, CVA14. She took Kamikaze hits in the Pacific battles and came home.
I began school before our involvement in WWII and each day began by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and singing the National Anthem. After December 7, 1941, those two had infinitely more meaning. That 48 star flag stood out from the wall in each and every classroom all through my school years. As a sailor, I saluted the raising and lowering of that beautiful flag and we both got our DD-214s about the same time as Alaska and Hawai'i were admitted to the nation. She was lowered, folded and never to be seen again, except for old fools like me and those who pass my house.

Served in Vietnam, lived and worked with many of those with their names on the wall. Life member of the VFW and the DFC Society. I will be at the annual memorial service at the county veteran's cemetery Monday.......... same as in several decades past. The names of all those in my county who served and passed since last Memorial Day will be read, along with service and dates / wars. My family has had someone, and sometimes several, who served in every war beginning with the Revolutionary War through Afghanistan where my son served.
