It's Veterans Day again. Another year has past since the last and I am wondering if anyone has taken the time to notice how many men and women have enlisted within the year. How many have returned to battle for the second, third time? Have we taken the time to remember just exactly how many brave men and women, within the past year, never returned home? Did we, either inwardly or outwardly say thanks?
When I mentioned (a few days ago) I'd like to do a post for Veteran's Day recognizing soldiers BY NAME it wasn't 10 minutes later that I received an email from a wonderful person with the list posted today. Many names you recognize- some of them may even be your relative or good friend.
These are but a few of the names of those that have fought for and protected this great land that we travel about freely in every day. There should be no limitations on what it takes to protect them.
Please glance at the names and if I have erred on spellings or rank, etc. PLEASE email me so that I may make corrections.
Thank you to each one of you.......

Marine Lieutenant Colonel (Ret) Paul Timothy (Tim) Corbin who served as Marine One helicopter pilot for George H. W. Bush and William J. Clinton.
Thankyou for your service Lt.Col. Corbin. What an awesome responsibility.
I served with Lt Col Corbin at MCAS Cherry Point and sat beside him as we watched live-feed come in from the terrorist attacks 9/11. That's the first time I heard the name Usama bin Laden uttered. I have a tremendous amount of respect for this United States Marine.
