Thank you to all who have served! God bless each and every one of you. Past, present, and future!
I've never served, but my Gpa was a medic in WW2. He just missed Normandy and DDay, but his company was in the Battle of the Bulge. He never would talk about too many details about his time served but before he passed away a few years back me and my cousin did get him to share a few stories. I also had a great uncle who did serve on DDay. My G'ma was telling about when he came back home, no one knew he was back. Somebody finally recognized him living on the streets in a neighboring town. When he finally came home he would never talk about the shit he saw over there in Europe. For weeks after he was home, he was always found in the mornings out in the corn field facing east. Tears streaming down his face. Kind of spooked everyone out then. Cannot imagine what he went thru. I never got to know him as he died when I was a little boy. Wish I could have talked to him.
And finally my Dad was a Marine in Vietnam. Served from '70 to '71. He was a mechanic that pretty much served in the rear. Thankfully he never saw any of the nasty shit.

Deceitful, two-faced she-woman. Never trust a female, Delmar, remember that one simple precept and your time with me will not have been ill spent.
