Went for my physical and got 4Fed due to a knee I can't get down on.

I joined the Air Force to keep from getting drafted and sent to Nam.

Here I am less than 12 months later at Bien Hoa Air base in Nam, not all my plans worked out. It's been over 50 years, and I still get an uneasy feeling up my spine at the grand finally at fireworks displays.
Every time I watch a special on Viet Nam, I can't help but think President Johnson should have been held accountable for keeping us in that war, what a waste.
Most of us did what we had to do, not what we wanted to do. I'll stop now....

I grew up in a Marine Sargents house. My dad served during the Korean conflict. My son joined the marines after 2 years of college. He served his country for 5 years.

I still make my bed every morning just like I did since I can remember. Great Dad. Great Son.

Bon Temps!

My family has a proud military history, dating back to both sides of the civil war. My great-grandfather ( yes, that is correct) lost a leg at Gettysburg. My uncle died in Korea. My Dad never got over that. Dad served in the Air Force and I was born on Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas.

My brother was in the navy as were an uncle and cousin. Another cousin was a Marine who barely missed Vietnam.

I came out of high school in 1974. Any desire to serve was replaced by hatred of those who spit on GIs as they returned from Nam. I would have been in jail had I experienced that!

I don’t have many regrets in life but choosing to let Hippie trash direct me away from service was the biggest regret.

Ted and I talked about this. He got my Thanks and gratitude for his service and sacrifice.

When speaking of heroes on CDC I think it must include Rango. He was a big part of this site for years. I think a few members will remember him and the "beast"

THANK YOU!!!
To each and everyone who have served and to those in active duty.
Prayers for Ted’s family and may God Bless.
