I too second the motion. I would have been a "lifer" if it hadn't been for getting hurt...

I'm always the only one at the shop to shut my machine down and go outside to observe a minute of silence at 11:00.

I salute the brave men and my relitives who fought the Martians, only to be forgotten in history.

Don't forget the Confederate solders.
My great/great gran uncle was a helicopter ace for the Confederate Air Force.

It a day off for Remembrance Day in Alberta. I was at the ceremonies at the Museum of the Regiments, nice ceremony.

History Television is playing a lot of shows regarding Canadians in combat. While I have nothing but the highest regard for the WW I and WW II veterans, it is nice to see the soldiers that were in Korea and Afghanistan also get some recognition.

I had my basic training a Fort Knox Kentucky. I spent three months there running up and down three hills call agony, heartburn and tank killer. Then I went to AIT at Redstone Arsenal Alabama. 13 months of missile system training and repairing. I then spent the rest of my tour at Fort Hood in the 1st Cavalry Division 27th Maintenance Battalion. Here is the missile system I worked on.
