My sincere thanks to all who served our country. I was never asked to go, but I did my part by paying attention to the many wives and girlfriends left behind!
Actually that's not true at all, but it made a good joke. I unknowingly stayed a step ahead of the draft board, by going to college, getting married and having a baby. At least my wife had a baby. By that time Vietnam was in its waning days and I suppose they forgot about me or I was too old. I was ready to go, but no ready enough to volunteer.
My hat is off to all of you who DID serve in our armed forces!
