To all of our Vets and all of those who live free because these people served , Please continue to do your part and VOTE, write to your representative in congress if you have a concern, Speak up and let your voice be heard beyond your circle of friends. The constitution not only provides the right of free speach you also get freedom after speach. As long as you don't offer to murder someone because you don't like the cut of their sails you can say pretty much what you please. Please DO!!!!!

Be careful Army Guys get webbed feet if they spend too much time in the water.

Thanks and respect to those who've made sacrifices to defend our nations and preserve our freedom.

Closest association I can claim is that my little brother recently retired after 23 years with the Canadian Armed Forces as an artillery specialist, and later, when he discovered that artillery wasn't much of a trade for civvy street, an air-frame technician (jets and helicopters). Service included 5 years at a NATO base in Germany. He's now employed by a contractor to Canada's air force.

Re: Veterans' Roll Call

I sat up on the hill at Clark AFB PI and watched the transport planes stop over on the way to Vietnam. That was spring 1962. Later that year they acknowledged that we were involved there.
