I am a ARMY veteran. I served 1961 to 1964,discharged, re-enlisted in 1971 and retired in 1998. I am 75 years old have been married to the same women for 55years. We have 3 children, 2 grands, and a great-grandson with a second great-grand on the way. This is my first thread and I hope it is appropriate.

Love and respect each and everyone of you who served. Sounds like we have a bunch of Viet Nam vets out there. I am of that generation but did not serve because of a very serious ankle injury. My lottery # was 7 but when I went down to register they took one look at my medical records and said I was physically unfit. Had a bunch of friends go to Nam. Just about all came home but it took years for them to get the appreciation they all earned. My dad served in WWII though. He didn't see action but cared for the wounded in the South Pacific at a hospital while stationed in Sidney, Australia. Proud of him. OFC
