Since it has been so long, I’ll start. ‘77 grad of the AF Academy; flew KC-135’s for SAC until ‘84, the latter days of the Cold War. Never got shot at....but our mission during nuclear war was a suicide mission. No matter. I never took incoming rounds. So many of you have. God bless you, and never feel unappreciated....ever.
Another Cold War vet...
Air Force/ Air National Guard KC-135 Navigator during the 80s and C-130 Navigator during the Clinton era.
Now a civilian Desk Jockey in the Marine Corps.
Thanks to the most recent generation of veterans — YOU may someday be known as the Greatest Generation!
