In honor of all our DTR veterans!!!

Since this coming Wednesday is veterans day I thought it would be nice to run a thread this week in honor of the veterans that are members here on DTR. Please don't feel this is just limited to our members. If you have a family member or friend you would like to recognize, go to it!


Thanks to all of you that have served and are currently serving our country, your sacrifice is what makes America great!!

In memory of Milton F. Smith MCPO U.S. Navy Ret.
