As ...Best wishes for your daughter's birthday.<br /><br />As a psuedo-veteran (drafted, US Army '63-'65, Ft. Polk, Ft. Sam Houston) I look back and see that some of the finest people I've ever met were soldiers. My basic training company seargeant, Sgt. Beard, was a scout master and a fine man. I've tried and failed to find out how Lt. Christie, the company commander, fared afterwarrds. As an airborne ranger, I'm certain he saw action in Viet Nam.<br /><br />I don't know if I had do-overs if I would have made a career in one of the services. I certainly felt in '65 that we would quickly kick commie butt and come home - that there wasn't much of a contribution I could make. But I was pretty clueless back then.<br /><br />So thanks for your service then, and thanks for your commitment now.Jack Woodwardnoreply@blogger.com
