Message: [QUOTE="Shenexon, post: 1395811, member: 129"] Today I honor my dad and the buddies he served with. From the time they were 55 or so, they met yearly to remember their comrades. They were airborne, landing by glider in crossing the Rhine, froze during the battle of the bulge, and celebrated the occupation of Berlin. I attended several reunions with my dad and was impressed. Their generation set a high standard. Dad died in 2004 but got to see SU win the Bball NC in 2003, received a masters in the William Tolley era, and made it possible for me to attend SU. Here's to the 517th signal company, 17th airborne division and to all of you that were impacted by your service. The price is high no matter the kind of injuries sustained. Dad was injured by shrapnel in Belgium but was with his buddies through the drive on Berlin. Thank you all for the sacrifices you've made [/QUOTE]
