To All Veterans...
- Thread starter O'Laugh
- Start date
I will more than likely be working all day. Nothing new there.
817th Combat Engineers ( Sapper )
OIF 07-08
And a few other places that really don't matter
Being in the Guards I was attached to more than a few really cool units, all of them were mostly great to work with. lol
If I was smart I would have stayed in and would have been at my next year! Instead I did 11 years and got out to raise a family. Spent enough time in the deserts of Iraq that I had enough fun.

Thanks in advance for all those that have served, and thanks most to those who have given all, to the last. I am grateful to be free.

A sincere THANK YOU to all who served. I missed Nam by 3 months. They pulled out before I turned 18. My dad, 3 of his brothers, and my brother all served. I chased my dad around for 18 years while he was serving. Freedom is NEVER free!

USAF, 1972 to 1976, I was sworn in during the summer of 1976 after graduating from high school and the draft ended during the fall of the same year. I'm very proud to say that it's one of the greatest things that I've ever done it my life with "no regrets" and it's helped me to more than appreciate the US of A.

I blew up a knee as a kid and couldn’t serve but have friends and family served, retired or currently active duty in all branches from Viet Nam on. I hold them in the highest respect.

US Navy in the mid 80's, stationed in Yokosuka, Japan - U.S.S. Midway CV-41 - 7th fleet. The old girl ( Midway ) is now a museum in San Diego. The Navy was the best / smartest thing I ever did. Dumbest thing was getting out - I should have listened to my 1st class, chief and CWO who really wanted me to re-enlist. Had I stayed in and done my 20 yrs -- I could have retired a long time ago. {sigh}

US Navy Hospital Corpsman 93-98 at San Diego Naval Hospital.
Got out to go back to school to become a Chaplain. After six years straight in school I reapplied to go back but failed the physical with 6 kidney stone in my left kidney. I've always had great respect for those who served.

Yah know, we spent a hell of a lot of time making sure our birds stay in the air and Air Borne think they can get there faster by jumping out. Funny thing is we're no where near the airport when they leave. Weird.
