Ya know,I GUESS I am a veteran.I was in the U.S. Army for 3 yrs,during the Vietnam era,but I did not go there.I went to Colorado,Wisconsin,and Alaska.It was actually the best time of my life,tho that really wasn't that great either.I actually feel a bit sheepish about it.Doesn't seem fair to the guys that did go over to combat areas.Only a small % ever do the actual fighting and dying,I know,but still.....To all those of you who have served in the real way,at risk,you have my heartfelt thanks.You are the veterans for which this day is dedicated.
