Well, I did say in “some circles”. LOL! Actually I enlisted in ‘67 and since my dad was an O-6, he got to swear me in. That was cool. We’ve been attending the Veterans Day parades here in Reno since we moved here in ‘11 and I am continually astounded by the number of kids who are in the ROTC programs at the area high schools. Not to mention the number of Vets who participate at each one. It does choke me up with pride at having served and honoring other Vets for their service.

Thank you for your service sir! The left will always be with us, hence we will always have people that hate the military. However, now at least they only criticize the mission and are always quick to say "but we support our troops". As you well remember, that was not always the case. The screw has turned.
