I think a message to our brothers might perk up some spirits

[DeepseekerADS]

We have a whole lot of brothers here. I know we have at least one veteran of Guadalcanal. I pray Don Jose is well, a legend and a hero.

Vietnam sucked, and that's a fact. I came home to a place where fathers didn't want their daughters dating me. It was a very long time before I even felt the urge to feel proud. At worst, it really messed up my life. At best, it educated me and made me look past routines. I guess I'd learned strategy in life for that, plan plan plan, and then seize seize seize. I was never afraid to change locations, take advantage of offers, etc. Hell, I've lived in 29 states.

To the subject, I wish to offer a point of encouragement to all our brothers.

Most signatures on our profiles say nothing, there really is not a high percentage of vets even mentioning their service. The world and climate of this nation has changed now.

Be PROUD of your service, and take credit for the experience in your signature line.

I am now very proud to be an American. And you should be as well. Keep the faith.

I am no veteran, but I am thankful to all who have served regardless of the situation they served in. No telling where we would be with out all of you. Thanks for everything.

Well stated.
During the Nam era I was stationed at MAFB, Riverside ('63-'69) as an Operating Room Tech.; a member of the 452[SUP]nd[/SUP] Tac. Hospital unit. While B-52s practiced 'touch and goes', C-119s would frequently land with wounded warriors. The scene at the hospital was then like an 'incoming' scene from the TV show MASH.


Thankfully, in one respect, that hospital is no longer;having been demolished and replaced by community service buildings.Thankfully, also, are most of those hospital memories.
My avatar, showing my son and his son,(representing the future, not the past) is where I focus my thoughts and effort today. God Bless America and to those who serve today and those, like yourself, who have served.
