Happy memorial day everyone

I always think of my Uncle Bill that fought in Korea. He left a decent peaceful soul, came back an alcoholic, started drinking heavy when he got home. He didn't tell many stories, but was a highly decorated soldier and sqaud leader, lost all his men but two in one battle, seems he never got over it..
He shot himself in the late 70's, was found in his uniform....can't imagine what went through his head beside the bullet.

My humblest and sincerest thanks to all you veterans who have served, and are serving in the Armed Forces of our great nation (the U.S.A.).

You guys (and gals), are the real heroes!

Ruff, I got out in 2009 after my deployment. By then our cut score for 0311 was in the 1700. No matter how many MCI's I did, the bar just kept getting higher. Lol. There were a lot of guys I knew getting out Lance.

To all veterans, I give a heartfelt and earnest salute.
