I have nothing but respect for all of our active duty, retired and reservists.
I am a former Chief Engineer in the US Merchant Marine. My son is active duty electronics technician in the USCG and my late uncle Alvin Kotler was a radio gunner on a B-17 in WW2. He co-authored a book Called "We Came to Fight A War". His pilot, Joe Flynn was improperly charged at the end of the war and was given a DD. My uncle was the final surviving member of his flight crew and met the Joe's brother (the other co-author, Jack) at the pilots wake. He asked permission to pin his wings on Joe, which he did and then stepped back and saluted he pilot. My uncle passed away a few years ago at the age of 94. I miss him.
Ty all that served pass and present. Would also like to thank the families of our service members. They sacrifice as well to ensure our freedom and democracy. God Bless
