Hi Bob....thank you for starting this....I was thinking of you this morning when I was making my bed. I was listening to the radio and they were talking about Veterans Day and a special day for the Marines that just passed. I didn't catch what that was about but it made me think of you:) I'm sure there are other Verterans on the boards so I thank all of you!!
Yes, thank you and happy Veteran's Day!
(Tim) Stoj this means you too, if you are out there!
Speaking of Veterans, there was an interesting conversation on a talk radio show today that I listen to regularly.
The discussion was making the point that in order to be called a veteran, you had to serve in the military and be stationed in a country that we were at war with. I had never heard this and was quite taken aback. I googled the term and it seemed from what I read, that you just had to serve in the military to be a veteran.
I served two years in the Air Force as a dentist during the Vietnam War. I never went overseas, but treated many personnel that were shipping out.
Despite not being in combat, I always considered myself a Veteran. I served my country, I was honorably discharged and am proud of my contribution.
Does anyone know the true definition of a Veteran?
IMO anyone who served their time in the military, voluntarily or thru the draft, is a Vet regardless of what anyone else might say.
So happy V day Jerry.
Funny Jerry, "tanks" LOL.
BTW, happy Veterans Day yesterday to you and my hopes for many more!
I have a good friend who was a LtCol in the USAR. He always said he felt "less of a veteran" not having served in a combat zone. I said that, in my opinion, anyone who put the uniform on, no matter where they served, or what they did, is a veteran and deserving of our respect.
MikeG,
I'm still out here and still serving. Thanks and you are all welcome
