The only thing he ever fought for was another drumstick!
about time u put something up
As of March 2007, Veterans Affairs reported that there were 205,533 living veterans of the Second World War, including 25,684 females. Their average age is 84.
In Korea, 516 Canadian soldiers died during the 1950-53 conflict, in which 26,791 Canadians served. The battles of Hill 355 and Hill 187, among others, saw Canadians fighting in swamps and rice fields, through torrential rain and snow, in the air and at sea.
In 2003, Canada marked the 50th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice by unveiling the Monument to Canadian Fallen at Confederation Park in Ottawa.
The words "WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU BRAVE SONS OF CANADA" are inscribed at the base of the monument, which also contains the names of all 516 Canadians who lost their lives in Korean War service or subsequent Korean peacekeeping service.
As of March 2007, there were 13,943 living veterans of the Korean War. Their average age is 76.
In 2004, Canada also remembered the 60th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, where Canadian troops suffered 18,444 casualties, including 5,021 killed. Of all the divisions that formed part of the 21 Army Group, none suffered more casualties than the 3rd and 2nd Canadian.
It was a huge sacrifice – and a huge factor in turning the tide of the war against Hitler's Germany.

Thank You to
all the veterans!
And yesterday was
the
UNITED STATES
MARINE CORPS Birthday,
OHH - RAH!
.
Remember gang,
if not
for veterans you would
all be speaking German
or be a lampshade.

I'm a Marine Corps veteran
who served in peacetime,
(1979 TILL 1982)
and I suffer from the dreaded
P.S.T.
(Peacetime Stress Syndrome)
.
Sometimes I wake up
in a cold sweat,
thinking I'm late for chow -
and the mess hall is closed.
SO DON'T SAY I HAVE
NOT SUFFERED FOR THE
CAUSE OF FREEDOM -
CAMP LEJUNE WAS A
LIVING HECK!
.
Parris Island
was like a nice 12 week
vacation though.
Yeah, like he gives a shit about the men and women who have served this country. If he valued and respected their sacrifices, then he could lift his hand and place it on his chest during the National Anthem.
Whoa, LettyB, impressive thanks for the history lesson. And, let's not forget all our veterns who fought in all the wars. We love and respect you!
Re: RashManly – Semper Fi, from a Marine Wife! Yes, Camp Lejeune was HELL! Lived there for 4, almost 5 freaking years! Happy Veterans Day to all our vets!
Happy Veterans Day. The troops are tired and let the Middle East have their oil, we don't need their stuff.
