USMC 1957--1961 Never saw a shot fired in vain. Never gave it a thought but walked into a pub in Holly Springs, NC on Veterans day with friend sat down had a sandwich and a drink and when I got ready to pay someone had covered it including the tip---brought tears to my eyes as I realized I had my USMC Veteran hat on. Pretty humbling right there

USAF A-10 Crew Chief, 1981 - 85. Then 26.4 year police officer, retired. USAF years were some of the best of my life. If I could go back in time I'd enlist all over again.

Back at you~~US Army, drafted '66~stayed until '72. Thought of making it a career but the "new all volunteer Army that started in '70 changed things for me. Not a good life for a married man, tough on the family too. Support is important from them.

Missed Viet Nam, They sent me to Germany instead to a Hawk Missile outfit.

Then on to Germany at Butzbach Germany and then on to Bad Kissingen.
Then on to Fort Lewis until discharge with an artillery outfit.

You're welcome. That's how our tax dollars should be spent, and not on free fell phones, etc.. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Happy Veterans Day to all. I served 6 years in the US Navy (75-81) and a majority of that time was on-board a fast attack submarine, USS Memphis (SSN-691). I didn't believe it at the time, but it was one of the better moves in my life.
