First: I served 24 years in the US Army which includes 2 tours in NAM. My son is currently with the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Abn. Thus I also have paid the price and, in a parental concern sense, am still paying the price.
Second: I expressed amusement solely at the construct of the reply and not the person to whom it was addressed.
Thanks for the bonafides and thanks from my family to yours for every bit of that service...both yourself and your son.
Also, thanks for the clarification...no offense meant...just being sure.
