    thanks for your support and careing Waymon, wish there were more people like you. I followed my fathers lead, he was WWII steelworker in the SeaBees, I was Navy Seabee Steelworker from 62 to 65, last 11 months in hospitals, then active reserves till 68. My son would have gone into the airforce, but he was killed on manuevers with the Civil Air Patrol at age 17 he was C/MSGt. My 3 girls were also in the CAP for about 5 years. thanks

    Waymon,

    Jun 1967 to present day, and 16 months to retirement in the Air Force Reserve Command. I guess that means I should kick in for my own $10.00... PM me with your address and I will send to your pot.

    I will match the first 5 that can beat my time in service...

    "The idea that "violence doesn't solve anything" is a historically untrue and immoral doctrine. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. People that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."

    Now that I have completed my FPP pledge to donate $1200 in 2004, I'd like to make a new pledge. For this one, I am going to need your help. But first I would like to tell you a story.

    My father was a Marine. He spent two years serving in Korea in Force Recon. The remainder of his career he spent as a Marine Drill Instructor. You can well imagine that when I was growing up as a young man I did not care for my father's strict rules and discipline. When I left home to make my place in the world my father and I grew ever more distant. It was only later in life that I began to rebuild my relationship with him. Sadly, he died before I had completed this task. One of the things that I most deeply regret was never telling him about the respect I had for him as a veteran. He served with honor in a world sometimes not so honorable.

    I believe our veterans, as well as those "veterans in the making" who are now serving all over the world, deserve three things:

    1) Our respect for serving with honor.
    2) Our admiration for the sacrifices they made and are making in the performance of their duties.
    3) Our support.

    That is what the Freedom Pens Project is all about. Letting individual men and women serving in the Armed Forces know that we appreciate them, that we are thinking about them, and that we support them. So, here is the deal. I will donate $10 each to the FPP for any veteran who is a member of SMC and responds to this thread with your service branch and years of service, up to a $1000 limit. If you don't want to publically disclose that information you can PM me. Please be assured that this is in no way a political statement, it is merely my way of recognizing my SMC brethren for their service.

    Waymon,

    Very generous, indeed. Your father would be proud! I'm sure...I served in the USN from Nov. 68 - Nov. 76.......my oldest son served in the Army for 9 years.......my youngest son just got out of the navy in August 2003 after 5 years........my father was a Chief Boatswain Mate.......my youngest son was the most immature 26 year old man I'd ever seen following his graduation (& my paying for) from college.....16 weeks under a U.S. Marine Drill Gunnery Sergeant did wonders for his attitude! I'll never forget parking the car on the old seaplane parking area at Pensacola. We walked a block when he saw us.......He kissed his Mom....he hugged me..he stepped back.....he said "Dad...I never realized how much you and Mom did for me!".......That evening at the Mom and Pop function.....my wife was giving that Marine drill instructor both barrels for not letting her son call home more often.......I was buying him a drink thanking him for what he'd done! As a parent, I'd bet your father would just appeciate your appreciation for what he did.....In my opinion that's all a parent can expect......just respect and appreciation for what you've done for your child.

    Again....you are extremely generous!
