Happy Birthday to the USMC today, and thanks to all those that have ever served in any of the United States armed forces. ROBERT 10 months ago Good grief!! Over 20 years served and I only got 5 of 10. If it counts as a good excuse, I was Navy, not Army, and most of the questions favored Army. John Bass 10 months ago 9/10 Birmingham Alabama hosted the first Veterans Day parade…that was a shocker. Jim 10 months ago 6/10, not too great for this retired veteran. I want to say thank you to all my brothers and sisters in arms who served before, during, and after me to ensure my family and I can live free. Raymond Summrs 10 months ago 6/10 not very good. all honor to our veterans. SALUTE Kreu 10 months ago I was 9 for 9, then Birmingham, WHO KNEW? I mean, I obviously did not! T Smith 10 months ago 7 out of 10. I’ve never heard “This we’ll defend”. Fredrick 10 months ago To all my brother and sister vets…..Thanks for your service and enjoy our day !!!! Rich D 10 months ago 9/10 Guessed wrong on parade location. Melinda 10 months ago Dismal, only 3 out of 10. I don’t know much about the military except that I appreciate them. But the DHS was formed after 9/11, right? And the coast guard existed before that, so who were they under before? David 5 months ago Why do i need to make a comment everytime i try these quizes ? Alls i want to do is take the quiz???? Marshall 9 months ago 14 out of 10? I felt like I knew most of the answers, but how do you get a 14 out of 10? Danm 10 months ago 6?10 again not so good for a veteran. Coast Guard is part of DHS??? Really??? Sam 10 months ago 10/10. I hope everyone’s Veterans Day was pleasant. Barb 10 months ago 7/10 Linda 10 months ago I based my parade answer on this article I read yesterday. I just picked what I thought was closest to this man’s hometown. I don’t know what I don’t know until I know what I don’t know. Now I know! ☺☺☺ Have a great weekend everyone! Thank you to all our veterans and their families!! www. mentalfloss.com/article/13043/kansas-shoe-salesman-responsible-veterans-day James 10 months ago Did government switch Coast Guard over to Homeland Security? And for what reason? Budget maneuvering? Thank you for everyone’s service! SAW 10 months ago 6 of 10. Should have done better!! Grandfather served in the Navy during WW1 on transports. My dad drove the Higgins boats into the beaches of the pacific in WW2, full of Marines. He almost didn’t make it back. I would not be writing this if his gunner hadn’t pulled him out of the water after being blown overboard from a close round as they were driving back to the LST to pick up more marines… Connie P. 10 months ago 8/10. Missed the parade location. Also, since the Department of Homeland Security wasn’t formed until 2002, and the Coast Guard has been around much longer, I did not think that was the right answer. Guess they were moved after 2002. Lots of vets in my family, and I was an Army wife. God bless all those who served! Loretta 10 months ago 8 out of 10. Missed the parade and Coast Guard questions. Kathy L 10 months ago Oh my, only knew four and the rest guesses. (Not very good, I may add.) Thanks to all that have served and sacrificed to protect us. Dianne 10 months ago 7/10 Judith Dunn 10 months ago 10/10 I have a nephew in the Coast Guard. Coast Guard wife 10 months ago I disagree with the answer to your first question. The United Sates Coast Guard is the oldest branch of the armed services. lilly 10 months ago 7/10 wpDiscuz340Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details Sweepstakes Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
