The DESA Board of Directors wishes for each of you a very special Veterans
Day.
Well Done, Gentlemen.
With Heartfelt Appreciation
To All DE, DER, APD and FF Sailors
On Veterans Day,
America Honors Our Nation’s Men And Women In Uniform And Their
Families Who Have Sacrificed For Our Nation. Members of the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard have protected our
country and liberated millions of people around the world from
tyranny and terror.
A Message
From The Webmaster
I could never
let a Veterans Day pass without taking the opportunity to extend a
personal message to each DESA veteran. I am honored to serve
as your webmaster and and priviledged to know you.
Your sacrifice,
courage and dedication to duty is remembered every day, but
especially today. You served our country in a time of turmoil
and crisis and because of you I live in freedom.
President
Franklin Roosevelt described you as the "pride of our Nation," who
struggled to preserve our civilization. "Pride of our Nation" and
"The Greatest Generation" are descriptions that could never be
mistaken as describing anyone but you.
You set a
standard for Naval service that is unmatched and continues to be an
inspiration to the men and women who wear the blue uniform today.
You can probably never fully realize your tremendous impact and the
level of respect felt for you.
May you remember
today your shipmates and how, together, you freed and brought peace
to other nations.
I ask for God's
blessings upon each of you and wish for you a very happy Veterans
Day.
Pat

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming!
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? |
