Any vets among the Audiophiles here?


With the anniversary of D-Day, and Flag day taking place recently there has been a lot of thought given to the people who fought and in many cases died to our freedom. I don't just mean in the US.

Keeping those things in mind I was wondering if we have any vets here. I know Slappy was in the service, and look what it did to him!!!: ) I don't know if you want to mention it here, but I want to take a moment to thank you for the service you provided to your country.

All of the freedoms we have including the chance to simply sit around and listen to music was won for all of us.

Thank You!

USAF 1987-2008. I bought a pair of Linn speakers during flight school in 1989 but ever had the front end to do them justice. Lately I'm putting together an all Linn system with Ninkas, a Trikan and the old Helixes.

I flew airplanes most of the time in the service. Started out on nuclear alert in SAC (in the B-1). Ended up deploying to the middle east flying over Afghanistan (in the B-1). Things sure have changed a lot in the last 20 years!
Dear Nrchy,
I am a 20-year Retired Navy Man myself. Spent most of my time deployed in the Pacific or West Coast. Used to shop in Worlds largest shopping Mall in Hong Kong, before it became part of China. Remember my ship visiting a U.S. Navy Base in the Phillipines, when there was still a Navy Base there. Remember being stationed on a Ship off of the coast of Somalia during, "Black Hawk Down". I was there in the Persian Gulf during the first Gulf War. I just wanted to thank everyone for the opportunity to serve this great Nation of ours. Every other place that I have been, is a very nice place to visit, but only makes me appreciate our own great Country even more!
Thank you, everyone of you for your service, this country owes you a debt of gratitude, and then some...
I too want to thank every man and woman who is serving, or has served our country. I wish our country took better care of you and yours that have sacrificed for all of us.
