Awesome post Snuffy my friend! I think we often take for granted how and why we came to be who and where we are. We are the direct descendants of an amazing bunch of hard American men who knew what being an American was and what it meant to them, and their commitment to seeing that no other nation or government had any influence or bearing on their ideals, carried them to foreign lands as teenagers and very young men. They grew up from as young 18 years aged and did so very quickly in a world that their nightmares paled in comparison to. They fought with everything they had in an effort to remain alive, and to save their fellow man, and ultimately save the world from the evil that was attempting to conquer the world. I often sit in the quiet of evening and think of my grandfather and all that he endured and achieved and I pray to someday be half the man that those young men had to become, in the blink of an eye. I thank all our service men and women and I am grateful. But I want to especially express my gratitude to the servicemen and women that fought in WWII. I think that they are being forgotten and overlooked by today’s society, who have not been taught how much they owe to those young soldiers. Godspeed Men!
Ride Easy my Friends.
