My salute to all other Nam Vets. "those were the days my friend". I still manage to stay in touch with quite a few brothers. If the 2nd pic is offensive to the snowflakes, I'll remove it.

Father enlisted (E-1) during WWII, got selected for an officer training program, served in the Korean War era and went on to become the oldest person to graduate the Flight Surgeon Flight Training program at Pensacola. (qualified front seat F-4 Phantom) Then he went on WestPacs just off the coast of Vietnam on USS Coral Sea. He also got to ride back seat on a training flight with the Blue Angels. (They took it easy on him... He was doing their flight physicals)
32 years active duty credit from a mix of active and reserve service over 43 years. Retired as O-6.
I was not in HS yet at the end of the Vietnam War.

We were in the O-club when an Ensign came in and a young woman started oohing and aahing over him already having a medal... then my sister said: "That's the one everyone gets for being alive" (Vietnam era service ribbon)
Poor ensign's bubble got busted by a 15 yr old.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
