And to their families

A message for the spouses of veterans. Please be patient and remember today. With you’re loved one who served ,just over look if they pull out a bottle of hot sauce. Or a packet of processed cheese and add it to their turkey. Just kindly remind them and say dear it is not a turkey loaf MRE.

Of things I am thankful for. Thanks vets for everything.

3. When you tell that veteran to open the cranberry sauce, and he pulls out a P38 can opener,

then you can point him to the electric can opener on the counter.

Or not. Opening a can with a P38 can be like rolling prayer beads.

4. Man,

I lost my p38 AND my dog tags long ago.........

5. Mine has been on

my key ring for years. Can't tell you how many times it came in handy for things other than opening cans.

6. My dad is coming over, and I think he still has his on his keychain.

I'll see if he does when I pick him up in a bit.

7. C-rats were long-gone by the time I joined the Army.

But I always used my Dad's old P-38 to tear open the heavy vinyl pouch of my MRE's.

8. Wow I thought you guys would have used the M1 to open em like ok hold on sarge lay the mre down

Best regards 11B

9. No. We only did that if we wanted to turn the MRE bread slice into flatbread.

10. I missed this

I keep a P38 on a set of keys which is attached to my "Jesus Strap".

That's the bright yellow strap that lets you disconnect your rucksack from your parachute harness. ( Look down and see you are going in the water and need to dump a heavy ass ruck. Yell "Oh Jesus!" And frantically look for that fucker.)
