Hello @leo23. I spent most of my career in the Virginia Army Guard but had quite a bit of active duty time and 10 years as a full time Military Technician. I flew the UH-60 A/L Blackhawk.
I caught the tail end of Desert Storm in the 2nd Armored Division, 2nd Aviation Brigade. I served in Saudi and Doha in Kuwait. I was also in Iraq twice in 2006 and 2011 and did a year on the southwest border in 2008.
I know you were there, where were you at in Desert Storm?

Well thank you for all you did brother. I remember the Basrah Road very well. Bad day for the enemy. After seeing what they did to the Kuwaiti people I shed no tears for them. You hang tough brother and God bless you.

I mostly remember the parade we had for our local returning veterans. I was in Elementary school, and I didn’t really know what was going on. I had some pretty cool Desert Storm toys, but I didn’t realize there was a war going on

That’s how I am with Great War veterans. I remember them in the Armistice Day parades, but that’s about it. I remember when the last WWI vet died in my state. It was only a week after the Veterans Day parade, and I was so sorry they wouldn’t let him ride in it.

What breaks my heart the most, is they have to leave this world in it’s current condition, they left so much on the battlefield for some WOKE MF to screw up the best nation on the planet! Hope I can help fix this before I go!

I think about this everytime I see one of my older warrior brothers. How they must feel.

I miss the idea of it! Then again, I was in my teens, twenties, and thirties!

You are correct and I’ve met a few of them. I just thought the misunderstanding was funny.
