Nope, my son retired from the USN as a Captain but the USS Alaska was his first boat.

He was a nuclear engineer and then went into the spook side of the Navy and worked with cia,nsa and the rest of the 007 code whackers.

I was a pill roller attached to the Artillery in the Army.

I saw my share of blood and guts and severed limbs, and just when you think it's forgotten and you're over it, you see a movie or hear a song and that night, the demons will visit for a while.

I used to drink with an old WWII vet and he still had the night sweats on occasion.

Only death ends the visits from those days.
