Don't forget to get in touch with all vets you know to wish them a happy Veteran's day and thank them for their service. To all of you on here, Thank you so much for your sacrifice. I am truly grateful and hope you have an amazing day!
Thanks for saying thanks. I might add it was my privilege to serve. Serving 3 years and 3 months starting at age 17 not only made me proud to serve the USA but it helped me to mature, learn, become confident, accept responsibility, and meet some awesome people.
I usually don't wear my Vietnam Service cap. Today, I attended a Nov 11 memorial and wore my cap. It is embarrassing getting all the "Thank you for your service" comments. I enjoyed my service and never considered it a hardship. As is frequently said, it was likely harder on my wife being stuck at home alone with the kids.
