[QuadList] Thank You, Veterans!--

[george keller]

Great foto Ted,

Looks like the LCDR could still take command of the ship.  Too bad I won't be able to meet him on the 7th, will be at PH later in the month.

Please give him a big "Bravo Zulu" for me.

73,

George Keller





> On this Veterans Day (the former Armistice Day marking the end of WW I in
 1918):

 A "Thank You" to all the Veterans on the QuadList for your role in:

 The relative safety we enjoy in the United States

 The ability to think our own thoughts, speak our minds and not be punished
 for it

 To hear the opinions of others with the same freedom to listen

 The opportunity to create tangible items from our thoughts and benefit
 from that productivity

 Bringing the good things you learned in the service home with you and
 putting them into practice in civilian life.

 We hope that on this Veterans Day, you are blessed with good health, a
 good life, the love of the people you care for and that care for you.

 Here's my closest Veteran in the uniform he bought in 1942 while serving
 aboard the USS Frazier (DD-607) following his first post as a newly
 commissioned Ensign in 1941 aboard the USS Arizona (BB-39).



 He'll be wearing this uniform in the Marysville Veterans Day Parade at 11
 am PDT, riding just behind the Colors.

 Most people think he's in his early to mid 70's.  He turned 97 on Oct. 12.
  "Less than three years till I'm a hundred," is how he puts it now.

 A small number of men who survived the Dec. 7, 1941 explosion and fires
 aboard the USS Arizona are still living. Dad was temporarily ashore with
 the Fleet Camera Party, and at this point is the only living officer the
 USS Arizona Reunion Association's historian is aware of. There may be
 others somewhere in the US, but we don't know who or where they are.

 So, on this Veterans Day, 2011...  We hope you all live as long and with
 good health. (Somebody's gotta keep the Quads running!)

 Ted
