US Veterans, militaria, etc...

[TheForrester]

First of all.. Thanks for your services, y'all. I'd have joined Air Force if it weren't for my deafness to continue my long family tradition of serving in the armed forces.

I always grind my teeth whenever I read how the phonies out there pretends to serve/partake in the action while they were safe behind a monitor in the same time. It's a dishonorable act, and disrespectful to our armed brothers, and sisters.

Once again.. Thanks for your services.

Agree 100%. A childhood injury prevented my service, but I operated Army MARS for many years to support my friends (can't call them "brothers", though I wish I could) overseas, especially Vietnam, which led to a Civilian Commendation medal from U.S. Army during Desert Storm. I do wear that miniature proudly, along with civilian miniatures when I am in black tie or higher.

Again - thank you for your service, Gentlemen and Ladies!!
