Proud Veteran

One Navy Veteran Helping Others
Our Branches may be competitive but we're all on the same Team.

John F. Kennedy once said:

"Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile... can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction, 

'I Served in the United States Navy.'"

I believe it's a fair assumption today.. that times have changed as has today's Military.   I believe had that statement been made today he would have said "Any Man or Woman".  I also feel this statement applies to all brances of the service .. for as a whole.. we can all be Proud to have served in the United States Military!

*Special Note: Recently at the Detroit Veterans Hospital (John D Dingle Medical Center) I met a few guys from A Veteran's Organization dealing with POW/MIAs. The Michigan Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall was there. In talking with them  they gave me their informatio pamphlet, unfortunately I did drop it in my travels which I only discovered upon return home. Should any of those gentlemen read this.. please feel free to contact me (via the contact section) so that perhaps I can get some of that information back along with your website information which was on the back of the pamphlet.  Thank You for your time and God Bless.
