There comes a time that you just have to stop and take the time and pat a few people on the back and I would like to do that now – Greg McClinchey, Justin and Marie Perrelet for the awesome job they are doing with a site that is dear to my heart (my Dad served 20 years and my son 10 years) and here is a tribute to my ex’s Dad Honoring Richard Radlinger – His Story – Salute to Veteran Surf.
Now before you think this is just another traffic exchange – think again. This site is a place to pay tribute to vets and I just love how that any vet can be added to the roll call list – I feel that sometimes these names and the people behind these names should have a place to let people like me come and say thank you.
While surfing there, I have learned about why wearing a red shirt on Friday is important. There is also a way of saying thank you and letting a vet know when you see them without even saying a word – and it’s called the Gratitude Campaign – did you know that? You can read about it at Veteran Surf and watch a wonderful video.
Have you ever heard about the Angel Flight – now that was interesting watching the video on that and hearing the story behind it. Also, while surfing I got to read about one of the many heroes – did you read the one about Shifty yet? You can by surfing Veteran Surf.
Started by a Vet, Greg had a vision and wanted a place where he could bring awareness to others about vets, wanted a way to give back and thus Veteran Surf was created. Each month, on the main page you will see a charity of the month.
If you are looking for a place to join and promote, I would add this site to your list. You will be getting great support from some hard-working people behind the scene, join the Skype chat room and meet the staff and say Hi to Greg (even tho he’s shy) – thank him, and let’s help show our support for what he’s doing here. Click the banner and join today – you
won’t be sorry on this one.
I agree Nancy, Veteran Surf is not just another traffic exchange. You can tell it is a labor of love for the owners, Greg, Justin & Marie. That is what makes a TE special, when the owner truly care.
Kudos to the Veteran team!
I agree Cathy and can see it all over the site – I agree Kudos to the Veteran Team

Thanks Nancy for a great message about Veterans Surf. It means everything to me. In one way or another I’ve spent my whole life in the military. My fathers uncle died in WWII. My father and his brother served in the Air Force during the Korean War. My mom was a WAC. I was born in a military hospital. My wife was in the Air Force when we met in Germany and married in Copenhagen, Denmark. My first born was born in A military hospital at Clark AFB PI. My second born a boy was born in a military hospital in Griffiss AFB Rome NY. I have served in the US Army Reserves and U.S. Air Force. My last assignment was Basra, Iraq. Now I am a disable Veteran. You see my whole life, now my son is applying for Navy ROTC. We ain’t done yet. . .lol
WOW Edward – thank you, thank you and thank you to your family and yourself – and very nice to see you on the roll call list already – again thank you
