Both Boilermakers.

Thank you to all the Service men and women here, and all those & their families who gave it all before.

Literally everyone who has ever sacrificed and risked their life to create and preserve our way of life. Thank you. A debt that can't be repaid.

To my Dad that was a paratrooper in WWII. Dropped behind enemy lines in the Marketgarden invasion of Holland, fought in the Battle of the Bulge and dropped behind enemy lines in Operation Varsity, the Airborne invasion of the German Homeland. To my uncle that was wounded on a landing craft on Utah beach during the invasion at Normandy. To my brother who was stationed at Pleiku Vietnam as a helicopter mechanic. He spent 2 years in 'Nam and the next 10 years at home battling PTSD. Thanks to all the others that posted about their family members that served and sacrificed. Bless them all!
