or currently known as Veteran's Day now

well, since i wasn't on the ball and didn't get any deviation related to the day finished, how about i just share thanks

i'd like to give thanks for:

my great-Grandfather on my dad's side, who was a motorcycle courier in the US Army in WWI (now deceased)

my biological Grandfather on my dad's side, who was a Marine radio-man fighting in the "Pacific Theatre" and Europe in WWII (now deceased)

my biological Grandmother on my dad's side (still married to my bio-grandad at the time), who served in the Navy's Waves in WWII

my step-Grandfather on my dad's side, who served with the "Pacific Theatre" for the Navy's Seabees in WWII (now deceased)

my Grandfather on my mom's side, who served in the "Pacific Theatre" for the Navy in WWII

and my Grandmother on my mom's side who, though not enlisted with any branch in the military, worked in the ship yards during WWII

there are more, but these i know more about...


but let's not forget the present:

i am also thankful for my sister's ex-fiance, who continues his tour in the Middle-East


thanks to all you who have served and are serving
it's not easy, what you've done or are doing, but please know that there are people at home who are very thankful for your service



if you'd like to comment and give thanks to any you know/knew, please feel free to do so
