Veteran's Day Postings From Past Blogs - November 12, 2014

I didn't think I could improve on my past writing so I 
am posting blogs from previous years.  I have loved ones,

family and friends, who have served our country well

and to them I give thanks - and to all who continue to

fight for our freedom, be it behind a computer, or 

repairing them on jet planes, or in war zones, or what-

ever they do in the service or our country.  Thanks to

my wonderful son, Shawn Smith, who has been more 

on active duty during his U. S. Air Force Reserve time

than not, to his father, Edward C. Smith, who must have

been his inspiration, to my stepfather, US Army Col.

( retired ) for his long years in the Infantry, three of which

were served in Vietnam, to my son Jeremy's friend,

Toady Hop, an impressive Cal Poly decathlete, to my  

beloved lifelong friend, Warren Fukushima, who also

retired from the Army after three tours of duty in Vietnam -

to them and to the millions I never knew - I give my

heartfelt thanks and prayers for you and your loved 

ones for your continued sacrifices and love for our

country.

Here are the links to my past blogs on Veteran's Day.

I am proud to be an American.
