Bay Area Militaria Show and Veteran's Day


I went to the Bay Area Militaria show a couple of weeks ago. I was actually in Downtown Hayward and saw a sign and went in. I had never been to one and it was interesting. With Veteran's Day upon us I decided to share:








I want to thanks to all my fellow vets and remember the ones who died serving this country. I was in the U.S. Navy for four years and served on the USS KIDD (DDG-993):


and the USS Truxtun (CGN-35):


I don't like putting myself in here but here is the the Naval me in 1993:


Please in your busy say a prayer for all the veterans.

    That's pretty neat to see. When I lived in Savannah, GA there were people from the military all over.

    Patrick, how cool to share on Veterans Day! This is an excellent #WW share. I'm so glad you did insert yourself in the picture because I had no idea that you served in the Navy. Let me say a personally to you, "Thank you, my friend!" I'm humbled and grateful for your sacrifice to this country and my family. God bless you! And, thank you for visiting me today!

    How neat! My dad was U.S. Navy and then studied through the military and became a JAG officer. He still works in the JAG division, but now as a civilian and has a team of lawyers under him in Okinawa, Japan. Thanks for linking on Amanda's Books and More!
