Thank you, veterans
This page is dedicated to our '65 friends and classmates who have sacrificed in the support and defense of our freedom and our liberty.
This is our small way to thank our classmates who have made sacrifices for our nation in the Regular, National Guard, and Reserve Components of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard.
We deeply appreciate your military service and the sacrifices you made to insure the freedoms we enjoy and to protect our country.
Thank You!

While the two days - Memorial Day and Veterans' Day - are set aside to honor, thank and remember those who serve and served our country, we don't have to limit our thoughts of them, and "thanks" to them, to just these two days. We can be thankful everyday for those who stand up and stood up to protect our lives and liberties - for it is each and every day that we get to enjoy those liberties ... because of them, their efforts and their sacrifices.
* * * MEMORIAL DAY * * * Last Monday in May each year Memorial Day was established to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Our own classmate, Edward L. Kanter, lost his life on August 11, 1969, while serving with the U.S. Army's 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in Vietnam. Please take a moment this Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, 2014, to remember Eddie and all those who have given their lives for our freedoms. * * * VETERANS' DAY * * * November 11 each year
In 1918, this date was known as Armistice Day, a special day established to commemorate the temporary cessation of hostilities during World War I, which went into effect at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Through the years, this observance has evolved into what is now known as Veterans Day, a day set aside to recognize, say "Thank you", and pay homage to all the men and women who have honorably worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces.
Salute to veterans from our class at the reunion of our 50th anniversary of our Woodward graduation.
