mechohaulic Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 there is no place that is the wrong place to say THANK YOU to our VETERANS.. appreciate You bringing attention to Purple Heart day. I had a Purple Heart that was found cleaning out my Grandmother's stuff. IT belonged to one of my Uncles. both of which deserved One. guess it can be said to be fortunate I didn't know which one;; A person receiving the Medal doesn't have their name imprinted on the back if they are still surviving. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Macktruckman Posted August 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2022 I never served. Both of my grandpas were in Europe for the duration of WW2. my dads dad was a mechanic and drove a tow truck over there. My truck and equipment interests I’m sure came from him. My moms dad had five major battle stars. Started in North Africa where he was pretty seriously injured. Later He landed at Omaha beach on d day. Was in the battle of the bulge. Crossed the Siegfried line and the Rhine River and was in Germany when they surrendered. I am proud of them. And very appreciative to all who paid for our freedom. This is a great bunch of people and I knew you would appreciate it too. Josh 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
