Yes, I'm a Viet Nam Era vet but I personally never got the chance to show my true worth. I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force 29 OCT 65 partly because I have always liked aircraft & armament, but mainly because I had just lost my wife & child, killed by a drunk driver, and there were just too many memories at home.
