That's quite a sombering thought Scott. I just heard that statistic on Veterans Day and it really shocked me. There are some things in this country I do not understand. Homeless Vets who aren't provided for, Aged people who can't afford medical care, children who can't get medical attention, and number one is people starving in this country. There is just no excuse for this in the United States.

Hey Randy, a fellow Loadmaster! Small world.

Have you seen the new commericals on TV with the LoadMasters sitting on the open ramp of their plane (?)...

US Navy '71 - '75. I wasn't proud of it then, always felt bad that I didn't get sent to Nam when so many others did. I know I was lucky, but didn't really feel like I served.

A lot of duty in a lot of places, but most proud of my Air Force tour of duty with the 14th Aerial Port Squadron, Cam Ranh Bay, Viet Nam 1969 - 1970.

I know there are a lot of veterans here and with Veterans Day coming up soon I thought it would be interesting to see what branches are represented.
