REMEMBERING WITH HUMILITY AND GRATITUDE ALL THOSE SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN EVERY CONFLICT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
On this website we especially remember the members of the US Corps of Engineers who were killed during WWII.

Lest we forget
They shall not grow old. As we that are left grow old .
Age shall not weary them. Nor the yeras condemn .
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them .

The snow is flying here today so the flag is not flying but my thanks to all that served.

Please forward to our Vets:
Right now ... across Iraq and Afghanistan ... a few thousand Soldiers
proudly wear the 36th "Rugged Seahorse" patch as they go about the execution
of their assigned missions on behalf of the people of America. Another few
thousand are back in America proudly wearing the 36th patch as they train
and prepare for the next time they are asked to deploy.
Rest assured that these Soldiers are aware of the history of 36th and the
great Soldiers that went before us. We stand on your shoulders and serve in
your honor as we continue to expand the great history that you started.
Thank you for your service to our nation ... and for continuing to serve as
role models for our generation.
Happy Veteran's Day!!!
Very Respectfully,
Colonel Kent D. Savre

Looks like we have two different posts on the forum, in two separate sections, so I am taking the liberty of merging the two. Okay, successfully merged. Now we're all in one place.

We,"COLOR GUARD," were busy with the presentation of the COLORS at three locations one of them was at the General Motors assembly plant. They gave us a tour of the plant and THEN THEY STOPPED ALL CONVEYER BELTS and had a small program started when we,Color Guard, presented the Colors. Was a very intresting moment. I was a tired but Happy Dude by 9pm. I am the FLAG Bearer and I raise the flag when the National Anthem is sung, I feel like I am ten feet tall.

Was thinking about the veterans yesterday almost all day long. What have they done for us, what have they been through. All that with one mission ... peace. Thank you sooooo much for your duty.
We are paratroopers. We are supposed to be surrounded.

In just over an hours time I will be leaving for the annual Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the now closed RAF Blakehill Farm, a few miles from here. We will be honouring all the British, Canadian, USA and other Allied servicemen that were involved in D-Day operations by C47 and gliders from there and elsewhere in 1944.

We were lucky, the rain held off till after the ceremony as I was on my way home. As usual a good attendance, around 40 people who were prepared to stand in the cold and honour those who died in the service of their countries.
A short service and address followed by laying of wreaths ending with the words - We will remember them.
The pictures show the two cairns giving details of the organisations serving at RAF Blakehill Farm in 1944.
