When I was in the service, a paratrooper with the 3/325 Airborne Battalion Combat Team stationed in Vicenza, Italy. I was here in the US in school when my unit was deployed for Desert Storm, I was reassigned an never re-joined them. I felt the same way like I let them down and didn't pull my weight and didn't do my part. Still feel the same way even today.SQLGeek wrote:One of my favorite monuments, the "Friend to Friend" monument in Gettysburg.
Memorial Day is always a little tough for me. As a civilian that has very regretfully never served, I can't help but feel the guilt of not serving while many of my generation has in these current wars.
I thank God for those of you that have served this great nation.
