[til128 at juno.com]

ATTENTION GREENKEYERS - - - -

THIS LIST WAS STARTED BY GEORGE W7TTY HUTCHISON A WHILE BACK, AND I
 HAVE BEEN EXHORTED TO CONTINUE THE TRADITION WHICH I WILL PROUDLY 
PRESERVE AND MAINTAIN.

I HAVE INCLUDED PAST COMMENTS FROM INDIVIDUALS BELOW.

THIS IS THE 2019 VETERANS' DAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2019 ITTY VETERANS' LIST

THIS LIST IS OPEN TO ALL VETERANS OF THE U.S. MILITARY SERVICE.
THOSE WHO SERVED IN THE MERCHANT MARINE ARE ELIGIBLE, AS ARE THOSE
WHO BELONGED TO UNITS WHOSE EXISTENCE ARE NOT TO BE DISCUSSED.

PLEASE SEND YOUR NAME, RANK, BRANCH, AND THE DATES AND WE WILL
GLADLY ADD YOUR INFORMATION.

ALSO - IF THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONS, CORRECTIONS OR DELETIONS,
PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

E-MAIL ADDRESS IS TIL128 AT AOL.COM

THANKS TO -ALL- FOR YOUR SERVICE TO AMERICA.

VETERANS' 2019 HONOR ROLL...

Q. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VETERANS DAY AND MEMORIAL DAY?

A. MANY PEOPLE CONFUSE MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERANS DAY. MEMORIAL DAY
IS A DAY FOR REMEMBERING AND HONORING MILITARY PERSONNEL WHO DIED IN
THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO DIED IN BATTLE
OR AS A RESULT OF WOUNDS SUSTAINED IN BATTLE. WHILE THOSE WHO DIED
ARE ALSO REMEMBERED, VETERANS DAY IS THE DAY SET ASIDE TO THANK AND
HONOR ALLTHOSE WHO SERVED HONORABLY IN THE MILITARY - IN WARTIME OR
PEACETIME. IN FACT, VETERANS DAY IS LARGELY INTENDED TO THANK LIVING
VETERANS FOR THEIR SERVICE, TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS
TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY ARE APPRECIATED, AND TO UNDERSCORE THE FACT
THAT ALL THOSE WHO SERVED - NOT ONLY THOSE WHO DIED - HAVE
SACRIFICED AND DONE THEIR DUTY.

09 NOV 2014 - SHERRY GUTTERY WRITES:

THANK YOU SEEMS SO INSUFFICIENT - BUT I THANK ALL OF OUR VETERANS
FOR YOUR SELFLESS SERVICE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

S/ SHERRY GUTTERY

SHERRY, THANK YOU FOR BEING BEHIND RANDY AS HE HELPED KEEP THE BOATS
OPERATIONAL. THE TENDERS MADE SERIOUS REPAIRS EASY. THE GRANT LOST A
STEAMCHEST THROTTLE BODY WHILE ON PATROL, MAKING FULL TACTICAL AC
POWER UNAVAILABLE. WE DID NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF WELDING THE
CRACKED CASTING, BUT THE BEST MACHINIST MATE TRIED. THE TENDER "GOT
'ER DONE!" (AFTER WE GOT BACK).

ED NOTE: RANDY LEFT THIS WORLD HIS WEBSITE, WWW.TENDERTALE.COM, AS A
LEGACY COMMEMORATING THE NAVY'S SUBMARINE TENDERS WHICH SO ABLY
SUPPORTED THE U.S. SUBMARINE FLEET FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS.

THEY ARE NO MORE AS WE WHO VENTURED FORTH ON SUBS KNEW THEM. A SAD
LOSS!!

S/ G. HUTCHISON - ET1(SS) USS ASPRO, AGSS-309, AND USS ULYSSES S.
GRANT, SSBN-631 (BLUE CREW-4 PATROLS).

MADE.

S/ CHRIS N0JCF --CHRIS ELMQUIST

-------------------------

JEFFREY ANGUS ADDS THE FOLLOWING ON 05/21/2015:

"I HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED VETERANS.

WITHOUT GETTING POLITICAL, THE PROBLEM IS THAT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS
ALWAYS NOT SUPPORTED THEM, WHICH IS A TRAGEDY. UNDERFUND EVERYTHING
EXCEPT THE WARS."

"THANK YOU FOR SERVING."
