I was in the Coast Guard 74-79. went in with several buddies, one made a full go of it and retired from there but most of us did one or two tours.

The world is changing Jim, anyone coming back from the middle east now is getting the WWII treatment. Folks who served in Vietnam and Korea kinda got snubbed for whatever reason but surely not from my family. Dad was in the Navy, got a nephew who was in the Air Force, still have the papers from two uncles who were shot down over Germany in WWII and spent time in their prison camps.

Ron the Air Force did a helluva job over in the middle east, can still remember the early 90s bombing of bagdad. The forces all work together whether its flyboys/coasties/grunts/squids or jarheads.........there should be a veterans day every month for what they all do.
