Veterans Are The Best!

[faster]

Don't know if this was ever posted before.


Definition of a Veteran:

A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, National Guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check, made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

That is honor, and there are far too many people in this country who choose to no longer understand it. -- Author Unknown

God Bless you all!

Some of the best Crew Chiefs and Mechanics I could have ever hoped to serve with in that picture.

Nice, I am currently the Flightline Div Officer....Love the job. When were you in? You don't happen to know a Matt Ring? He was an F-18 Airframer out of Iwakuni I believe. He is now one of our pilots. He was with Hornets probably around the mid-late 90's.
