My Granfather served in the Navy during WWI. My Dad was an Infantry grunt (carried a B.A.R.) and was awarded a purple heart in WWII.
I am a Vietnam Vet (1969, with the 2nd of the 22nd (Mech) 25th Infantry Division. I also received a few awards.
It's really nice see people post stuff like that, because when I arrivwd home, well, let's just say they were'nt sending me nice letters.
I was very touched. And since I seem to be a glutton for punishment, I became a city cop and just recentely retired after 27 years.
I thank you all for those posts that made me feel better about my service
