This section of our site is to honor those that serve and have served our country. Watch for new additions.

VETERAN'S INDEX
	VETERANS DAY POPPIES (FLANDERS POPPIES) We did some research on the reason why the little red poppy is given out for remembrance of vets on Veterans Day. Wanna know why? Check it out, it's a great 'short' story!
	AMERICAN TANKS Here are some Great Pics of 'Patriotic' Paint Jobs. Unlike some, bikers have displayed their Countries Colors Proudly for a long, long time.
	THE AMERICAN FLAG Interesting piece sent in on the definition of each of the 13 folds of the American flag.
	HISTORY OF THE POW/MIA FLAG In our quest we ran across the history of the POW/MIA flag.
	'WHY WE FIRE RIFFLE VOLLEYS OVER A GRAVE' A small history of why shots are fired to honor the dead.
	HISTORY OF THE 21 GUN SALUTE The Navel history of the 21 gun salute.
	HISTORY OF TAPS A look at how the haunting bugle came to be used and why.
	FREEDOM OF SPEECH One of the Freedoms WE DO have is the 'Freedom of Speech'. Here is a Collection of creative writings and stories from citizens and servicemen of the USA that have sent their opinions and feelings over the wires.
	VET LINKS Speaks for itself. This is a page of links to other sites that we feel are very important and/or interesting pertaining to Veterans and America. Contact us below if you have a site you'd like our viewer to check out.
	VET PIC GALLERY This page has a great pic gallery that 'Snakebite' collected on her trip to West Virginia Bike Week '01. Great pics at 'The Wall' in D.C., Also the Moving Wall Experience and Rolling Thunder 2003 pics.
	OUR YOUNG SOLDIER We have a loved one right out of high school that enlisted in the army, May 2000. This page is for him because 'we can'. We love you Brent....Godspeed
	REMEMBRANCE We adopted POW/MIA back in 2000. There's a link to a site where you can adopt one of your own. Modern technology provides a virtual bracelet (that is shown) but the meaning is the same as the bracelets we actually wore. Some still do. We won't stop until they've all come home. Want to get involved?
	HANOI JANE Here's a letter that was circulating around the www back when we started this site in 1999. Shortly after it was posted we were contacted and revised the story. What is the truth?
	9-11 THE RESPONSE This section has been changed.
	A CLOSE UP OF THE USAF NOSE ART This is kind of '911' related but an interesting little story and a great pic. The Air Force is bringing back 'Nose Art'. New pics added 6-17-03
	OPERATION FREEDOM BIRD Read about this wonderful service provided to Vietnam Veterans
	WWII VETERANS MEMORIAL Glendale, AZ A beautiful new memorial to all vets and the USS Arizona
	HOW APPROPRIATE A Vets reflection on his trip the 'The Wall' Memorial
	USMC Memorial - Iwo Jima Memorial An account of the six 'Boys' who are pictured in the memorial.
	Sentry Watch Disobeying an order for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Sentry Watch
	Military Mom Sir, welcome to my world
	It Is The Veteran It can't be said better than this
	Home at Last A brother comes home from Cambodia after 33 years
	Laus Deo An interesting story about the Washington Monuments cap
	POEMS This title speaks for itself. If you enjoy poetry here's some cool stuff that's been published on the www.
	A SOLDIERS CHRISTMAS We highly recommend that everyone read the wonderful words of a marine stationed in Okinawa Japan and pass it on.
	THE VIETNAM WALL EXPERIENCE (The Moving Wall) 'The Moving Wall' came through Phoenix, AZ. 'Snakebite' has pics in the 'Vet Pic Gallery' below of 'The Wall' in D.C. and was inspired to cover 'The Moving Wall' too.
	THE BLUE STAR SERVICE BANNER MAKES A COMEBACK This banner when displayed in the front window of a home shows a family’s pride in their loved one(s) serving in the military, and reminds others that preserving America’s freedom demands much.

(We purchased this poster and were recently made aware that it fails to include the United States Coast Guard. Our sincerest apologies to a very important part of our Armed Forces.)
