Thanks for That FRiend...

I served on a SAC AIRBASE,March AFB near River Side California. Many Soldiers came Back from Nam there and through out SoCal in the early ‘70s. The Toll put on those Soldiers was Palpable and still is.I meet them all the time. I was at My VA check up Yesterday and I go that extra bit to Help or be Friendly.I Salute You for being in a Group that directly Helps Them.
I apologize for being edgy
This incident and the two Boys shooting at the Mosque both Happened in My Backyard.
God Bless You FRiend

Much respect, brother. I was stationed at NAS North Island on the Indy from 88-90, missed desert shield. Then I returned from 96-07 as a civilian to San Diego. Went through done personal hell then, almost didn’t make it to the other side. My pop served in ‘Nam, grew up seeing the shite your brothers went through on the return home. Dad was a helluva guy, didn’t talk about what he did till after he retired and some of it got declassified. I’m very very fortunate I had the father I did, he didn’t bring it home with him. Peace my friend
