Thanks for your service Nanook. And up yours EP! I served 8 years from 62 - 69. No I never made it to "country" but would have willingly gone. I saw plenty of Nam vets happy to attend concerts on Okinawa and gladly paid or had someone pay for them so the entertainers could appear. I proudly toast and honor the fallen heroes, a few were friends, they are all loved! They will never be forgotten! The kind mentioned below will be forgotten, you can count on it!

John Stuart Mill, said, "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. THE PERSON who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
