Happy Veterans Day
ArJunaZ:
My Dad served 22 years in the Air Force and retired an E-8. He spent 3 years in Vietnam and Laos. My Stepdad is a retired Marine Colonel that fought in Vietnam, Panama, Desert Storm. He spent weeks fighting in the vicious Battle of Khe Sanh until he got shot. He doesn't like talking about it much, but I saw him interviewed by Mike Wallace on 60 minutes and he was emotional talking about the horror of being there and seeing so many guys go down. I spent a little over 4 years in the Navy as an air search radar repair guy. The most exciting place I saw was Guantanamo Bay where I got shot at by the Cubans for sailing my boat too far down the river close to their checkpoint.
