Yep. Bad times indeed.
It was kind of funny in a dispiriting kind of way...the Navy and National Guard guys I talked to were...gentle. I think they could tell I really wanted to help, so they talked normally to me instead of laughing at me. I suspect they were getting a lot of calls like that.
I only missed by a few years...:)

Listen, you went man. Like I said, that’s more than a lot of people of service age did
And food meant more to me than those buildings and the city and country, apparently.
I WISH they would have taken me on, maybe i wouldn’t be a fat ba#tard right now :)
