Wow, Vundy...quite a passionate post!
I have tears in my eyes, and that's not a usual thing.

My husband served during the Vietnam era. They were in country and getting ready to go out the next morning when several of his friends were having one last night of fun. Two MPs walked in the bar, and asked him if he was "(his name)". He answered yes, and was a little afraid of why they were looking for him. He was just 19. They escorted him out of the bar to HQ to verify his identity. As it turns out, he is the only son of a totally and permently disabled veteran. He was put on a choper immediately and escorted back to the states. Didn't even allow him time to pack. He was able to stay in the military, but never on foreign soil.

Every single one of his unit was killed. It's something that still haunts him nearly 50 years later.

I won't even go into the stories about agent orange. Suffice it to say that I do support the military and the job that they do.

Thank you for your service.

My prayers Granny. We all thank your husband for his service:worthy:
