Annoyed Man your OK in my book. I don't know how else to say it and I hope that is enough.

I joined the Army in 1960. It was one of the best moves of my life. I spent 10 1/2 years in and was medically retired in 1970. During my time in I served two tours in Vietnam. The first in '66 and '67. the second was later '68 to March '69. My 3rd Purple heart was on March 16, 1969. That one sent me to Brook Army Medical Center for 19 months. I very much enjoyed my time in and have no regrets at all. It also makes me feel good to see those from Vietnam that were able to make it over here after the war to live in a free country again. It makes me feel like what I served for and gave for was worth something. I hope I explained that right. One other thing, for those that were lucky enough to not get drafted and missed out on the war, not to fear you didn't miss anything. Several of my family were lucky in that way also. It is just the way it was.
