The Army one is very moving. Yes, I would like to see the Navy and Marine ones as well. Is there an Air Force one?

By the way...........1965 to 1973.........Was on the rifle range in basic when LBJ did his Viet Nam Build up speech........They played it on the speakers on the range........Things became very serious in attitude after that.........
We, D&D Productions, do the memorials for veteran's families as we insert them in with a photo montage of the veteran's total life..........Just never had a call or commission to build an Air Force one..........Takes days, to build one as a lot of research is involved to find the just right pics and graphics.
Anyway.........the Marine one used to be on the websight, dndprovideo.com, but we took it down accidentally a while back..........SINCE YOU asked, working on uploading now........standby.........Dennis

There seem to be an awful lot of Lightnin' Fast Chicken Pluckers in this thread all of a sudden. Maybe we should get together and compare notes.

It's my time to go again
Well, still in the Army, still admire all those that served in every war and conflict. I think the Cold War Warriors tend to get overlooked at times. Around 1993 or so I got this certificate in the mail; Said I was part of the Cold War winning team. Very nice.
Just got word last two weeks, I am heading back to Iraq in December. Trying to figure out which route to drive the Airstream over but not having any luck. Fortunately, I am in health care and I get the honor of taking care of those kids who are willing to do what they do for this country. It's kind of nice really. (I always thought this symbol was for the Air Force Security police, which by the way, I have seen individuals make the mistake of NOT taking seriously barely live to regret it)

Memorial Day Salute
There are many threads honoring our member's contributions - I just wanted to give this one a bump, in honor of the Memorial Day weekend.
I am proud to have served - and I salute all those who have served, past and present.
Happy Memorial Day!
