My family has served since the 1700s right up through the Iraq war and if I had my druthers I would prefer the politicians be sent to fight the wars in which they are so quick to participate, instead of our young boys.  The average age of an enlisted man/woman in the Viet Nam war was 19 and that's a sin by any standard.  They were children...

Went out to lunch today and got a lot of 'beeps' and waves from other cars. (Could have been my license plate)

 

Veteran plate

@perrone1 My Dad served in the 3rd Armored Division in WW2, got three Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts for Normandy, Northern France, and Ardennes, Battle of the Bulge. I wanted to follow in his footsteps so I joined up for Armored Cavalry, served two years as Border Sentry on the West German/Czech border. Thanks to all my fellow men and women who served!

My Dad, Adam Schlub. Went through hell!

The most dangerous thing I did in Germany was the Octoberfest!

...sadly, less than 2% of American WWII veterans are still with us.   In a few years, that number will be zero; I can't imagine the horrors those young men faced.

@chris ...and too many of our friends that went off to fight the war in Viet Nam came back and took their own lives, my best friend included.  My brother used to paint watercolors and he came home a mess.  There was very little support for them, after the war.

@gdh Quite right....   Vietnam was a complete and utter failure that wasted the lives of countless Americans and others around the world.
