Thank You Veterans

That is one awesome video CG9G.

:applause:


Thanks to those that served in the Armed Forces. We owe our freedom to you.


My Grandpa was in the Great War (WWI). He served in France. In one battle, the Germans launched mustard gas into their ranks. Shells that when they exploded, sent out a lethal gas that usually killed you. But amazingly, (miraculously), when the shells went off, a breeze came up and blew the gas clouds back to the German lines, hitting them with their own, illegal weapon (it was against the Geneva Conference, I believe).

Gandpa's job was communications. He did the morse code com. From the trenches at the front, he would watch aerial battles. The worst for him to see was when the planes caught fire. He said you could hear the men screaming when the plane was in a dive in flames.


Thank the Lord, the war is over.

Amen.
