A Salute To Those Who Served

in #life7 years ago

This article is a salute to all those who served in the Armed Forces of The United States of America!!!

Just about every person in my family on my Father's side served. My Grandpa, Uncles and my Father. So, to me, it was just a normal thing to do.

I was a scrawny, shy kid of 120 pounds when I joined for my 4 years. I barely made it through basic training due to my lack of muscle. But I fought through.

I ended up in Germany for two years where my unit was deployed a couple times.

Later I stayed and served our soldiers in Germany for the next 9 years.

There is a brotherhood you get in Military service like nothing else on Earth. Friends come and go but friendship made in the Service remains for life. I still keep in touch with friends made way back then.

The Military made me the man I am today. I learned leadership skills, self determination and courage.

Salute to the men and women of the US Armed Forces!!!

Thank you for your service

I must apologize for the trolls harassing me. Please ignore the comments

To the people of steem it, this man posting is a fraud and uses stolen valor he never served, in any military for the United States...

He should be ashamed of him self renting uniforms, and buying used DD-214 in someone else name

This thediyworld should be boycotted and his fraudulent ways

FIXBYDOC is a veteran, and actually has commendations, and a honorable discharge

I served from 1994 to 1998. Trained in Fort Knox, KY and then stationed in FT Hood, TX. Later Friedberg, Germany where I stayed another 9 years after my term was up.

Troy William Reid

2/67 Armor 1st AD Hell On Wheels
1/67 Armor 2nd AD Death Dealers

Anyone can look it up.

What did you do at Ft. Irwin? You mentioned training there.

cub scouts right, you were not smart enough to be in the army

Are you stealing someone elses name and valor now troy reid?

2/67 Armor 1st AD Hell On Wheels, really you served in normandy... you seem a bit young

@thediyworld

Your a FRAUD, I looked up the name and unless your a black man, you STOLE someone VALOR..

YOUR ARE A PIECE OF LYING SCUM!!!

Well then, it looks like you would say anything to harass me and defame my name.

send the link, i'm busy here

The reason why you have not gotten your silver play button from YT is you have to earn the subs NOT BUY THEM.

You bought 99,000 subs, so your a tad short.

better stop talking SHIT to your remaining subs before you lose them to .sucks too

The 2nd Armored Division ("Hell on Wheels"[2]) was an armored division of the United States Army. The division played an important role during World War II in the invasions of North Africa and Sicily and the liberation of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands and the invasion of Germany. During the Cold War, the division was primarily based at Fort Hood, Texas, and had a reinforced brigade forward stationed in West Germany. After participation in the Persian Gulf War, the division was deactivated in 1995. Its units were later transferred to the 4th Infantry Division.

so you couldn't have been in the unit after 1995 such as you claim being in it in 1998... and I was stationed at fort Hood in 1995-96 in C company 16th Signal Battalion 3rd Signal Brigade and we worked closely as comm support for 4th ID to which I NEVER saw you!

I have looked them up troy and you are not on ANY of their rosters for any year. Nor are you on any DOD record according to the county Veterans liaison whose job it is to check these things out. Oh and the VA (Veterans Affairs) has no record of you either. And before you claim you never registered with them don't BECAUSE ALL MILITARY VETERANS GET THEIR RECORDS SENT TO VA UPON DISMISSAL FROM SERVICE BY DOD whether the Veteran goes to the VA or NOT. It's how they keep track ;)

Doc if Troy served he would be thumping his chest and showing proof.

But as for Troy's MO. his Shit Parade will continue.

Come on in the waters lovley.
TROLLS WELCOME, YOUNG OR OLD, CLEAN OR STINKING.

”The Military made me the man I am today”
I wasn’t aware the military turned men into delusional, lying con artists. That’s being generous to you as well. I would like to know though what happened to you to make you the way you are?

Troy took the short bus to school, what real chances do you think the military actually took him..

I'd say NONE

troy reid is a FRAUD

Today is NOT the day and this is NOT the article to troll.

Have you no respect for those who served?

I have the utmost respect for the brave men and women that have done military service. I don’t have any respect for you at all though.

That is fine. Just keep it for another day then and show respect for those who served. Just this day.

Ok, just for you Private Reid. Left handed salute to you.

NOW GET OFF MY BACK!!!!

Here is a blog I know you will love because it is made by a real Army Veteran and not some stolen valor criminal... https://steemit.com/fixedbydoc/@fixedbydoc/intro-to-fixedbydoc

Your a fraud reid, you never served...

only thing you have done is stolen valor from people like Doc.

You should be ashamed of your self pretending to be a vet, renting service uniforms and pretending you served

Get off your fat, lazy butt and look it up for yourself for once instead of worshiping at your god Ryan's feet.

Never just take something as fact from another person.

You may end up looking like a fool

Go ahead. Look it up!!!

Look at all the people that used to watch you on YT and now your the fool, 200+ people can't be wrong about you and your ways.

What does you being a scum sucking sob have to do with your article

Thought this was an ideal place to add my story . This folks is Troy and BJ at play .

Well since you good folks demanded the tale of BJ Hands On ( TJ Hansen and forthwith be identified as BJ ) here it is . Side note : The facts stated in these words are well documented and easily verified . In most cases from the very videos the man himself posted .

Let us also put our cards on the table , call a spade a spade so to speak . As many of you have probably guessed our hero of these stories is none other than Troy Reid himself ( forthwith to be known as the Idiot , Moron , Fruitloops and many other appropriate aliases ) the self proclaimed DIYer and bible thumping Gilligan , the Tim Taylor ( Home Improvement , Tool Time) residing in Northern Michigan . Let us begin , shall we .

My tales will now take on a darker appearance . This one is from the bowels of the planet . Lucifer himself will glow with pride . You see the idiot took it upon himself to transport an convicted sex offender , BJ across state lines to visit and assist our dunce . BJ the pedophile and Fruitloops had a heart warming relationship from the start . Clearly the antics demonstrated in the daily interaction of the two , captured on camera was very touching . Brings to mind the movie Brokeback Mountain . Watching these two frolic about left the audience mesmerized , demanding more .

Yes , they were two consenting adults , what's the big deal you ask ? Well it just so happens whilst the happy couple were enjoying their time together they were interrupted by a Canadian Fellow member of the CAI cult ( Mack Loevy ).
Oh wow , a menage a trios you're thinking . Things are starting to heat up at the fairy dumpstead . Oh no folks . You see Jack had two adolescent sons accompanying him . Did scatterbrain inform Mr. Loevy of BJ's checkered past ? Unfortunately no . Did dark action take place during this visit ? Probably not ( hopefully ). Did the devil himself visit hoarder heaven and place his hands upon Tliar making sound judgement a mirage ? Disturbing actions to say the least .

Later when questioned about this atrocity the Moron being true to form blamed it on former friends out to cast doubt upon his good nature .

This tale must end now due to length of the readers interest . So much more to say . Suggestions will now be accepted for upcoming topics .

@thediyworld. Here again you are exploiting a topic for money.

You may have shown an Army document with your name on it, mind you the important information was covered up by you,
And there's a photo hanging on Bill and Terrell's dining room wall of you in an Army uniform,
YOU have FAILED or Refused to provide genuine proof or explanation as to serving in the military and your discharge.

YOU have Failed to show genuine and clear behavior of a disciplined military member.

Does your display of the left handed salute in one of your YT videos ring a bell?

Like you care about honor, respect, dignity, service, HONESTY.

You're a hypocrite Reid.

My sincere apologies to all veterans for having to read this and calling out Mr. Reid on this very important day.

@thediyworld. "Look me up".....ha ha.

Why, so you can record another sit down video of being "stressed" and "under attack" by trolls?
Because we all know those are the only videos people watch now.

Plus you're "too busy" for anything meaningful to record and share.

I have looked you up.
You lie a lot. Why do you think so many people are pissed at you.
Man up and tell the truth.. Simple.

That means Troy Reid was not in 2 armored div at all such as Troy claims. and it also means he was NOT in army in 1998! nor in 1994! and last checked the army does 4yr enlistments and my math says 95-97 is 3 years... 95, 96, 97 IF he served the whole years, that means he was either dishonorably discharged, general discharge usually for misconduct, or disability discharge. You don't get honorable UNLESS you complete your ENTIRE contract

I still say he was too dumb and the army did not take him, I think he was in the boy scouts with that left handed salute, did he use 2 fingers or 3, LOL

Get a job you bum and start looking after your family. What an asshole you have become. flagging you...have a nice day. We're still friends right?

Veterans Please note Reid is just trying to make you think he actually cares about you on this day. The next 364 he'll screw you over.

Michigan on High Alert : Super Venomous Bee Attacks Gilligan ( Troy Reid )

Not so long ago in the past our klutz was coming to terms with the imminent arrival from the seed of his existence . His boughten bride was due to give birth at any given moment when disaster struck . A nest of bees had taken root and had grown to epic proportions under one of the eaves of his castle . It was clearly visible but was determined to be of no immediate danger . To and fro Gilligan would wander unharmed beneath this potential calamity when the unthinkable befell our clueless clown . One of those godless creatures angered from the laziness demonstrated daily by Fruitloops , along with the non stop constant sound of the delete key being punched repeatedly had had enough . That maniacal insect patiently waited for his or her opportunity to satisfy its hunger for revenge , striking numbnuts and planting its own seed of venom into our unsuspecting wanderer .

A bee sting in most cases is nothing but a minor discomfort . Some folks , myself included must take precautions with the flying ninja's . After a strike a shot of adrenaline will right the wrong . A couple of hours later everything is good as gold .

BUT WAIT !! This was no normal bee striking a normal individual , Hell no . The venom this particular ninja dispersed incapacitated Gilligan for a week , yes a full week our T Liar was unable to attend the needs of his pregnant wife . That and the unfinished projects needing his attention would have to be done LATER . What to do ? Almost 50 years old the solution is to call mommy for help .

Benny Hill theme now plays : Mommy arrives , chores done , keyboard king observes , Mel grows larger , week passes , mommy leaves . Author breathless .

That brings us to the end of the bee saga and should be the end of this tale . Oh No good folks . Disaster reels its ugly head again and shortly after the birth of a beautiful baby girl . A mysterious force takes aim at Gilligan's knee . An injury sidelines our distressed fellow . Dr. Seuss advises the misfortunate klutz to stay off his feet for a month . Oh Lord , what to do ? Well , call mommy again of course .

In the time frame when his wife needs his help the most Fruitloops manages to render himself useless to be of any help other then to observe . Also many projects need attention before winter takes a firm grip upon Michigan . Things will just have to remain this way due to circumstances .

This is a theme that has played out several times in the past . T Liar always manages to find a reason to postpone his projects , be it injury , weather , shadows in the night and the granddaddy of them all is not having the funds . Tugging on the purse strings of his gullible followers . This is his SCAM and will be his legacy . Donate until it hurts folks . Sell your cars , boats , houses and anything else to make giving cash to this Idiot a pleasure . Be de be de that's all folks . Until next time .

Sure as shit was not you, you coward

yes, troy your a coward, and a liar,

nice gif bro!
