I can understand how you feel. A "thank you" would mean more coming from someone who had also served, but would be unnecessary.
I enlisted in the navy in 1967. I wanted some choice as to what I would be doing and wanted to learn something. I enlisted because I would have been drafted. But I knew it was the right thing to do. I knew that unless we drew the line somewhere we would be taken over by the communists at some point. They were pushing then as they are now. Later I was against the war, but only because we were not committed to a win, we were just half fighting it. But because of the anti war, anti military feeling in this country it took me a good many years to start to really feel good about my contribution to keep us free. Now I feel proud I did my part.
For a long time I have felt that EVERYONE should do at least 2 years of service upon completing high school or college. It would give us a trained reserve force, allow young folks to mature some- possibly saving a little money to get a start in life with. If a person decided to go for 4 years then they would get the benefits veterans get now, two years of service would get benefits only if injured while serving.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
