USA

Thank you guys and gals for your service and your sacrifices!
I was fortunate to hang with lots of US service men while serving in the German Army and I'm in this great country due to said friendship.

Freedom isn't free, better believe that.

A moment and toast for all our fallen brethren and sisters, and stay safe for all those still in the fight!

Ride for their memory and enjoy the life they have enabled us to live!

Thanks to all.

I am still surprise (in a good way) that public of US support our soldiers.

Had many KIAs and RIP to all.

My two best friends from the Special Forces Group effected me the most. I still think about Rich and JP. Miss you brother and I will see you in heaven.

2nd Ranger Bn-75th Ranger Rgt 03-08, three tours across the pond. Thank you for the kind post, but we must remember, Memorial Day is in remembrance of those who paid the ultimate price for freedom. Freedom is NOT free, and this memorial weekend we should remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Rangers Lead the Way!



A few of the Rangers who gave it all that I had the honor to serve with.

Hey guys

I've noticed we are pretty well represented here with those that have served to protect our way of life in this country and others.

I wanted to slip a quick post out and say thanks for your sacrifice and your service. God bless and safe riding this weekend.

A genuine thank you to all the vets on the forum. I just spent some time writing to many of my USA military buddies personally thanking them for their service. I have made quite a few friends over my 32 years in the Army. Two of those guys a SEAL and a Army SF SGT were both killed later. One in Iraq and one in AFG.

All the best for the day. Have a beer.

Have a great Memorial Day all. Some of you make me feel incredibly guilty for not doing enough in the four years I've served with only one deployment. Hopefully after my Q, I'll be deployed more often with more risk preventing someone else from having to be there themselves.
