When / where did you serve?

Biggest problem with the guys who ran is that they broke the law and were given pardons.
It was a complicated time and situation, but the pardons were way out of line.
Some guys who got discharged with bad paper were given the opportunity for reviiew, but sure weren't pardoned.

Scary thing today os that with the draft being over a generation in the past, current guys who shirk service are actually offended by the thought of mandatory service. A s if it was for some sort of lesser being.

For Sarge

I did a talk at a modeling convention here on Long Island this summer past about Quad 50s in Vietnam and a woman walked up to me
and wanted to know if I would shake the hand of her brother. It seems he went to Canada and wanted to shake my hand. Well I refused
and had to restrain myself from putting him in the hospital. The SOB had to send his sister over to me , as he couldn't ask himself.

RVN 70 and 71 Quad 50 gunner we ran convoys in the highlands and at times right up to Dong Ha up on HWY 1 .

I was a police officer while I was in the guard and steered a few troubled youth to the military, proud to say, all are now quality members of society, I get a visit and a thank you every now and then.
