Title: American Warriors
Post by: Flyin6 on March 22, 2023, 12:17:27 PM

Following in the footsteps of the growing "Chinook" thread, this will be a thread to showcase pics and stories about our warriors. Be they Army, Navy, Air Force, or our venerable Marines, they will be here. I'll also post Coast Guard pics if I get some and they seem to fit in.

Our military and our Coast Guard are great symbols of our American pride. They are the tough guys who deliver the punch when the President or Congress feels the need to send a hard message. They are also our ambassadors making millions of daily contacts all over the world. Often the only American a foreigner ever met was one wearing a uniform. They display heroics, athletic prowess, do amazing feats of engineering, and can be kind, compassionate, and loving.

I salute all men and women wearing our nation's uniforms.

From the 2nd ID, US Army, Korea

Back in my day, I landed on that exact sand bar with a flight of Chinooks. So cool to see it still happening...

Some more:

Top pic, guy second from left is one of my best friends. The pic was taken in Mogadishu before the bad day

One of these pics does not belong but it really captures the thoughts of our serving warriors and about 75$ of America.
