USS Hornet CVS-12 - wooden flight deck aircraft carrier, built in 1943-4
S-6 Division, under Port side rear 5" gun batteries.
1961-1964.

Me and my other Navy buddies will start with a complimentary breakfast at Denny's, then on to a complimentary lunch at the Sizzler, and finish up with a complimentary dinner at Applebee's.

We are all hunters and rifle shooters, so we will also be celebrating the election results.

There are still Dennys eateries in California? Seems that they've all disappeared in the upper northeast United States. Miss going out at 3:00 a.m. in the middle of the night for the belly buster Grand Slam breakfast.

Also too . . . . Does anybody but a few of us with living uncles (now passed) who fought in World War One, still call November 11th . . . Armistice Day?

Veterans are never given the credit they deserve. Very brave men putting their life on the line for those that remain at home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Wayne

All Veterans made sacrifices for their country, some more than others, and have a pride for the USA that others cannot comprehend. It would do all of us citizens a lot of good to put in some service to our country.

I was in during the Vietnam Era but was never sent out of the USA. I saw friends and brothers come back from the hell that was Vietnam, some treated badly and some in a box. It made me feel guilty that I was never sent over there. Thank you, Veterans. Thank you Vietnam Veterans!
