Veteran's Day - with Rick Kopec

[computerworks]

On this Veteran's Day, SAAC extends its heartfelt gratitude to all those who have dedicated their lives to serving our nation, ensuring our cherished freedoms.

Many may not be familiar with the resume of our club leader.

One such Veteran is our very own Rick Kopec, who recently gave an interview to the popular YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly.

Grab a cold one and sit back for this interview

Thank you Mr Kopec and the other veterans we have here.

I was fortunate enough to read an advanced copy of his book. He is a remarkable guy.

Yes, thank you.

All the other vet's too.

(I would like to get a copy of your book when it's in print.)

What a excellent Veterans experience day experience. I have always enjoyed Ricks special style of telling a story and this one even more so. Thank you and all Veterans for their service. 

[ChicagoChris]

Wow-I had no idea.

[Rickmustang]

Awesome listen

We still had greatness in our generation. It's unfortunate it was not recognized at the time.
Hopefully it gets published.

^^^ exactly, and + another 1 on hopefulness.
Some of the comments on the video were disgusting... sounded like the same old crap that those guys came home to    (where's the angry face emoji when you need it?)

I admired Rick's fight to save SAAC from the takeover bid of Carroll and his lawyers. Now I better understand.

Thank you Rick

Happy Veteran's Day to all my fellow vets, especially Rick. I had to chuckle a bit when he described OCS.  Navy OCS at Newport, RI in the dead of Winter was brutal. They really did overload you with more crap than you could process just to see how you'd handle it. Being smart didn't necessarily help.  The valedictorian from Rensselaer Polytech rolled out half way through. He just couldn't acclimate. BTW, really liked the shirt, Rick!

Here's a bench I had made to honor all soldiers and Veterans. Zoom in to see the details. It's a little hard to read but the left side says
 " Freedom isn't Free
 All gave some
Some gave All
