Thank you Tony and the same to you and all of the veterans here.
Yes indeed... Thank you to ALL servicemen & women!
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...
Thanks to all Veterans for their sacrifice. Nice to see the evolving widespread recognition.
@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!
@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 There are way too many stories like yours, my sincere condolences,
