I’m proud of my US Navy service during the Vietnam era
And I’m forever grateful for all the brave men and women who have served and died in the military protecting our freedom.
So much hatred has been wasted on our fellow Americans while we all enjoy the freedom that our military has given us.
Be proud to be an American. If not then find yourself another country to live in.
Thank a service member as well as Law Enforcement officers and firefighters, not just today but for all the future.
