Thank you for your service to our country. We are a Navy family also. My husband, son and two Grandsons have served in the Navy. I am proud of all of you that serve regardless of where. I am glad that you are able to enjoy Pogo and Harley regardless of your disability. I hope you stay in good health for many years and maybe sometime we will meet and play a game in Pogo. Good luck and a Happy 4th to you. I knew exactly what you meant when you said eliminate terrorism and I agree it would be a much better world without it.
A proud American. God Bless you.

Thank you for ur service Sir !!!
Soldiers are real super heroes. It’s beneath them all the super heroes like batman, superman, flash and everyone live. Hats off to every soldier on this earth.
Thank You for serving the nation, thank you for keeping us safe from all the troubles. Its because of all the soldiers we are living a peaceful life.
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
You made a difference. Thank-you so much.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15. — Ronald Reagan /≋☆҉‿Hαρρყ └┼ƚԋ σϝ Jυʅყ҉‿☆/≋
You know why Republicans believe everyday is the 4th of July? Because ppl like you “BLOW IT OUT THEIR BUTS” ALL THE TIME ! This isn’t a POLITICAL FORUM ! This is to recognize a well deserved Vietnam Vet for all his achievements. Because he sure as hell didn’t get the praise and the respect when they returned ! I know because my husband was one of those vets along with several thousand others.
I agree with you sir, Jane Fonda needs to be gone, after what she said and did to our vets. My hubby is also 100% disabled and loved Harleys all his life. Sir I salute you for your service as well as all service men and women who gave their lives for us, so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have today….May God Bless You Sir
Thank you for your service.I love Harley’s too.
Thank you For Your Service if you ever want a scrabble look me up
WILL DO AND THANK YOU !
I learned to play Scrabble at young age and I am still learning. So maybe I will catch you in Scrabble game or two!
Ride on Brother!
A REAL American! Ride on brother!
Love that you had fried chicken for breakfast! What a great way to start the day. Thank you for your service. My daughter’s husband (Air Force), father-in-law (Vietnam), and grandfather-in-law (WWII) all served. Thank you.
I had to read that comment on “fried chicken” twice! Unique individual!
There is no way we could ever thank the people like you for all you have done to help keep us free You truly are heroes Thank you for your service for our country You deserve nothing but honor and respect from us
Thank you for serving and staying with the brothers of Nam & Legacy Vet’s. Although I could never join, I use to volunteer to help with a lot of the Oahu Chapter for their fund raisers and the Vet n Memorial Day run’s to the punch bowl. Many good memories of close friends with the Ohana (Hawaiian for Family) shared by all riders over there.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY BROTHERS IN HAWAII – GOD BLESS !
Thank you for your service. Loved the part about fried chicken for breakfast!! Ride on!
Thank you sir for your service! God Bless and God Bless America!
From one Navy Vet to another. Thank you for your service. It would be my honor to be your friend on Pogo if you let me. Although I am not a very good Scrabble player. lolTake care.
Thank you..Thank you for your service..A true American…Love the fried chicken for breakfast..Be safe on your Harley..Thanks again !!!
Thank you for your service ! I so loved your Jane Fonda answer………and Vikings is a Great show can’t wait till it comes back for its next season……Hope you had a nice 4th…..and again thank you for your service !
Thank you for your service, From what i read you had a tough skill in the service, my hat is off to you. As to all the comments, i personally believe that in a game site there are certain things that should be left out of conversations like race, religion, and politics. As far as bikes go, great, but Harley’s can get to be to noisy. I know you will disagree on that point. But they do hurt peoples ears. Bless one and all over this US birthday.
ALWAYS REMEMBER – LOUD PIPES SAVES LIVES !! – THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS !
GOD Bless U sir for your awesome service. cant thank U enough.. we need more young men as your self to do the things U have done to help keep us safe. Love your Invisible Idea of no one on a motorcycle going down the highway with no one on it..
I pray U have a blessed life my dear friend.
Peace Be with U always..
Sandi

I was in high school during the Vietnam war and brave men and women such as yourself were not given the welcome, much less the thanks you deserved. To you I say, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

First I would like to say thank you for your service to our country. I totally agree with your hobby of Harley’s one of my favorite things. Maybe I’ll catch you in scrabble some time that is one of my favorite games. God bless you for your service and thank you for sharing your story on Pogo. They made a fine choice putting you in the spotlight.
NavySalvageDiver, YOU ARE THE AMERICAN HERO! My father also served in Vietnam, but passed away this past March. My mother was a WAC, who passed away a couple of years ago, both brothers served in the Army, as well as my husband and myself. We are a committed military family. When I returned from Operation Desert Storm I received a welcome that I did not expect. I remembered when my father returned from Vietnam from the many stories he would tell that did not happened to you brave soldiers. THANK YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY AND COURAGE! You have such a positive can-do attitude. I myself love scrabble, but I like to play with the robots. Take care & God Bless!
Great answers and thank you for serving our country :) My dad served in Vietnam and is no longer with us today. Most of the vets from that time are very unappreciated and it is sad. Glad to have you in Pogo and to see you enjoy life!!!!!
If you ever need a Scrabble player, come find me. I’m here every day. Great post Earl.
Thank you Earl for sharing a few things about yourself. I would like to take a moment to personally express my gratitude and appreciation for all the sacrifices you made while serving this great country and preserving its integrity, honor, and all the freedoms that we as American citizens (and these days even more so if you aren’t a citizen) are blessed to have. I agree with “Jane Fonda” comment and all those who are like her….go live somewhere else. Thank you again, Navysalvage diver.
Thanks Earl for your service to our country. May God bless and keep you sir.
Thank you so very much for your service. God bless you
WTG on such a horrific trail of duties!
Hugs across the river in Canada :)
Thank you for sharing your story – much respect -to you- for insuring the safety of myself and all Americans… Stay safe in your travels..have fun on Pogo..peace always “me”
