Several lifetimes ago I was stationed at Barksdale AFB in the early 70s. IIRC, DePyssler was either the base commander or the 2nd Bomb Wing Commander.

Trivia! The last Civil War veteran died in 1956. I believe he didn’t see combat, just drum sticks.

Nice post. Not many share the distinction.

My father was an Infantryman in WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam. He had a CIB (Combat Infantrymans Badge) with 2 Stars before retiring as a Col.

This article reminds me that “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away!”

I’ve never seen the “Bay of Pigs Invasion” on the list of American Wars before. I know the US Army doesn’t list it as a war or campaign.

My father was in WWII, Korea, Vietnam (working for the Navy and a bunch of smaller incursions. He would have been in GWI, but my mom wouldn’t let him go.
