Vets with Vettes?

Hopefully I did not miss an already-existing thread. I know lots of us Veterans enjoy our Vettes. Let's show our pride.

We're a Navy family:

Me: E-1 to E-9, then O-1E to O-4, 1979-2003.
Wife: E-1 to E-5, 1979-1983.
Son, NROTC, 2001-2005, O-1 TO O-4, 2005-present, currently deployed to a hot, sandy place far, far away.

Time to parade the colors.
