Drakuun Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Wow, Lotta Military and Ex-Mill's here.. First, Thank you, each and every one of you! I'm proud to have you securing the ways of Freedom and Liberty for everyone, not just me. Every male in my family except me has served in the armed forces (it's not a tangeable tradition in my family however.) I lost my father to Vietnam (mentally, he is still alive) So war faded fast on me at a young age. I never enlisted or wanted to. Decided, that I would work to make change at home from inside, thats where I could help most. Again many humble thanks.. and SALUTE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDII Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Silent Ranks I love you baby! And miss you more then you know Not many people know this, But the hardest job in the Military, is being a wife. you take care of the kids, the bills,take care of the house, the holidays, and hardest of all you have to not only explain to the kids why daddy is not gonna be home for christmas, you also have to deal with the heartache of knowing that its so many days until he comes home.

PGT Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I was in Army ROTC in college, not that that counts much. +1 about the wives....my mom is a strong woman. Three kids and a Navy wife. Worse, was when my dad would come home after a year away and as toddlers, we would cry and run away from the strange man. Just when we got used to him being around, he would leave again. Tours as a US attache to the Brits at HMS Dryad in Englamd during the Falklands, the admiral's staff on the USS New Jersey commanding the action off Beirut in '83, then a 'tour' living at the Navy Annex in VA under Adms. Jeremiah and Boorda re-organizing the Navy. It took me until my 20's to truly get to know my father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firedawgs Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 This is the best place to post this: [/url] http://img427.imageshack.us/img427/9050/bdonestarservicestarbanner9dj.jpg The History of the Service Flag The Service Flag is an official banner authorized by the Department of Defense for display by families who have members serving in the Armed Forces during any period of war or hostilities the United States may be engaged in for the duration of such hostilities. The history of the Service Flag is as patriotic and touching as the symbolism each star represents to the families that display them. The service flag (also known as "blue star banners" or "son in service flags") was designed and patented by World War I Army Captain Robert L. Queissner of the 5th Ohio Infantry who had two sons serving on the front line. The flag quickly became the unofficial symbol of a child in service. President Wilson became part of its history when in 1918 he approved a suggestion made by the Women's Committee of the Council of National Defenses that mothers who had lost a child serving in the war to wear a gold gilt star on the traditional black mourning arm band. This led to the tradition to cover the blue star with a gold star on the Service flag to indicate that the service member has died or been killed.
