For those who have never served, please consider doing so...We, (across all #military service branches), welcome you with open arms! The time is now... 1. Do your research (via a veteran, internet, etc.) & learn about each service mission sets, benefits, etc. that best align to WHY you're considering serving. 2. Seek out a military recruiter to gather more info about HOW you'd like to serve; Active duty, as a #reservist, or as a National Guardsman (NG = best kept secret). 3. Involve your family throughout the process and make that proud #commitment to yourself & your Nation. 4. Live life...You've now literally became part of #history as this commitment is bigger than you while extending your #family. #veteransday #happyveteransday #honor #courage #loyalty #freedom #nationalguard #usairforce #usarmy #usmarinecorps #usnavy #uscoastguard ##reserves

I am so excited for this! My great-grandfather's WWII discharge records were the only records of his to survive the fire. They were water-damaged but still provided new information. "We know about 80% of Army records from Nov. 1 1912 to Jan. 1 1960; and 75% of all Air Force records from 25 Sep. 1947 to 1 Jan 1964 were destroyed in the fire of 1973 at the St. Louis National Personnel Records Center. So how can you obtain information on your veteran for those years? Answer: Morning Reports With Morning Reports researchers may be able to trace their veteran's service from their starting date to their discharge. Even if your veteran was transferred from one unit to another, which was quite common, that would be noted in the morning reports. Recreating Burnt Military Files? 2 Great Military Resources The NARA, St Louis, microfilms of Morning Reports from 1944-1946 are being digitized and will be available on line at the National Archive website: archives.gov" https://lnkd.in/ecbt-bJk

NATIONAL K9 VETERANS DAY March 13th recognizes National K9 Veterans Day and the dedicated K9 units who've served since World War II. #NationalK9VeteransDay A lot of things changed after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. We rationed oil, leather, and rubber. The military draft men into service. Women rolled up their sleeves and built war supplies. And dogs were called to duty. During the first world war, the United States took notice of the European use of canines as sentries, message carriers, and several other functions #RealEstateMiami #SouthFloridaRealEstate #RealEstateSunnyIsles #SunnyIslesRealEstate #SunnyIslesEstate #RealEstateSouthFlorida #MiamiRealEstate #RealEstate #Realtor #houseexpert #househunting #home #RealEstateAgent #RealEstateBroker #RealEstateExpert #RealEstateForSale #Realty #Broker #HomeForSale #HouseForSale #PropertyForSale #HomeForSaleMiami #HomeForSaleSouthFlorida
