A Tribute To Our Military

With America’s 249th birthday coming up in just a couple of days, I thought it would be fitting to pay tribute to our military and armed forces. The other day, I went walk-about in a new place, The Westminster City Park. They had a very nice tribute to our men and women who serve, both at home and abroad. Every branch of the military was honored, including my dad’s branch, the Merchant Marines.

The Marine Corp and the canine units.

The Coast Guard. I like how they have a woman scuba diver. She is a kindred spirit of mine. 🙂 🙂 🙂

The Merchant Marines. My dad first started his military career at the age of 14, with the Australian Army. He came to the United States shortly after WWII with the Merchant Marines, and stayed with the Merchant Marines for the rest of his life, traveling all over the world, many times. He did military sealift command missions for both the Korean and the Vietnam Wars. Thank you Daddy.

The Navy.

The Army.

The Air Force.

And the Pilots were flew their missions.

I drive past this park all the time, but never stopped to really explore it and look around until now. It was a beautiful tribute to all those who serve and have served our beautiful flag. Thank you to all who have served and to all who have sacrificed. We all owe you so much, today, tomorrow and always.
