navypoppop Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) At least in today's world it seems like most people will thank a vet unlike back in the 1960s-70s. After my discharge in 1968 it was normal to not display anything that would show your service because of the political atmosphere at that time during the 1960s and 1970s.

mechohaulic Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 My Brother served in viet nam ' I never talked /discussed it. I'm 13 months younger, sadly as I have stated in other text did NOT serve in the military . not a draft dodger but medical unfit. I highly recommend listening to Red Skelton's narration of the Pledge of Allegiance. a wonderful man speaking such a strong message. you younger folk missed so much. Red was a real comic back in the day and didn't have to use the F -bomb to make people laugh. I would bet people like jeff foxworthy and others used Red Skelton as a mentor. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73524-veterans-day-111123/#findComment-541751 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 We call it rememberance day in Australia Up until recent years people would wear a poppy on remembrance day Sadly I was up the street a few times on remembrance day and didn't see another person wearing a poppy I seem to recall the flags were always at half mast on remembrance day along with ANZAC day I didn't see any flags at half mast Dunno, Australia is really going down the toilet with it's values in recent years Every joker will proudly display their latest tattoo or piercing but not wear a poppy or ANZAC badge Anyway, thanks to all those who served or who are still serving I hope we all live a full and good life and be worthy citizens as lot of people gave a huge amount so that we can Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73524-veterans-day-111123/#findComment-541809 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 70mackMB Posted November 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Paul, Our Memorial Day we fly the flag at half staff. From sunrise to noon then it is lowered and returned to full staff. Veterans Day it is to fly full staff all day. .....Hippy Edited November 11, 2023 by 70mackMB 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73524-veterans-day-111123/#findComment-541820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted November 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2023 Does the U.S. have a minutes silence at 11.00 am on their veterans day No matter we're we are or what we are doing we stop for a minutes silence at 11.00 am Everything does, radios, TV the lot And I have checked on Google and all government flags should The Australian National Flag should be flown at the peak of the flagpole from approximately 8:00am until precisely 10:30am (local time), when it should be adjusted to the half-mast position. At 11:02am, the Australian National Flag should be moved back to the peak for the remainder of the day. every country does something a little different I guess, but we all appear to value this day Paul 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73524-veterans-day-111123/#findComment-541822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
