Thanks for all you guys and gals have done. US Army here with time served in South Vietnam and Desert Storm.
I feel a little odd when someone says "Thanks for your service" as there was a lot of good times and the Army gave me my medical career.
It was worth the bad times. LOL

Seems these days too many people in this country don't remember or even know what Memorial Day is all about. Those that have/are serving are doing a job the vast majority of people don't want to do or even think about doing. Hats off to all the veterans and active service...especially when they drive corvettes...even more so when they have a C4!!!!
