I just read a post on conservative blog that stated few freepers were veterans (implication was that we were chicken hawks). Having conversed with many of you and met a few, I do not believe that is the case. But it did get me wondering, who among us is active or prior service veterans? Awright you freeper vets SOUND OFF!

Served in Viet Nam w/ 101st Airborne (Phan Thiet & Phu Bai)

I'm a proud vet, and I pray for our soldiers, sailors, and airmen every day. I also am a freeper, and if someone doesn't like that, then to hell with them and the horse they rode in on.
