FREEPERS: Are You a Vet or Currently Serving in the Armed Forces?

[Billie]

Are you a veteran or currently serving in the Armed Forces? If you would like to be included in our daily USO CANTEEN threads, please contact me by Freep Mail with information and photo.

Below are a few of the Freepers who have already sent their photos for inclusion. Some are in uniform; others have asked to be included with a current photo instead. We salute all our veterans and active service men and women and offer our heartfelt thanks for your service.

Logos served in the United States Army from 1962-83. SwedeGirl's husband was a 1st Lieutenant in the photo above, serving in Viet Nam 1/9 CAV Huey Lift Pilot 1969-70. Neil E. Wright's photo was taken in 1977 at CTF 72/ComPatWingsWestpac, Kamiseya, JA. He was in the Navy. FallGuy, Snow Bunny's husband, also served in the Navy on the USS KULA GULF. 1John submitted his photo in uniform and asked us to "guess the year" it was taken; hopefully he will provide that information since no one guessed correctly! Sneakypete's photo was taken after he returned from a mission in Laos, Viet Nam in 1969. T'wit's photo in uniform was taken during the famed "Berlin Crisis" of 1960.

I'm so sorry to hear about your house fire. Photos are one of the most cherished possesions we have that cannot be replaced by insurance. Do you have any recent ones then?

[AuntB]

[Billie]

I'm an Air National Guard electrician -- working on C-130 aircraft in the North Carolina Air National Guard now. I was in the U.S. Navy during Operation Earnest Will in the Persian Gulf and in Desert Shield / Desert Storm. I went to sea for months at a time on USS Midway and USS Nimitz.

I left active duty in December, 1995 because I was disgusted by Bill Clinton, and I wanted to bring my family out of poverty. I immediately joined the Air National Guard -- and I now have 19 years of military service.
