I would like to thank and salute all my fellow Veterans for your service. I am most proud to have worn the uniform for so many years with the world's greatest bunch of guys and gals.....

You have heard me say that I belong to The Elks Here is a promise the organization has kept over the years
Since 1946, our promise to all our veterans and their families has been and continues to be “So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.” We have kept this promise and continue to do so

Thanks Mike...........................
At the car show today, I wore my Marine Corp Viet Nam Cap and one of the vendors selling military stuff called me over and said "Thanks For Serving Marine.....Happy Birthday." Then he told me that he was Navy and always felt good when Marines were on board his ship. Then he handed me a brand new U.S. Marine Corps Cap and told me to try it on and make sure it fits. Well it didn't fit so he got me one that did. No charge!
On the way home, Mickey was in the mood for a steak, so we stopped at Harringtons Steak House. When I walked in, the greeter saw my Marine Corps Cap and told me that her boyfriend was a Marine serving in Iraq until next June. She said..."Happy Birthday and thanks for serving." She was only about 18 or 19 years old. That sounded so good coming from a young person like that.
People seem so much more aware and appreciative these days of Veterans and those presently serving.
A far cry different from the Viet Nam Era.
