Army, '65-'67. Interesting how well the returning vets of today are received when coming home as compared to the reception we of the 'Nam era experienced on our return. Personally, I wasn't exposed to any hateful or derogatory treatment but heard of many who were. They were spit on, called baby killers and were generally disrespected. A lot of us didn't ask to go but did when we were called. Proud of my service even though in a losing cause. To be clear. I didn't go to Nam but was sent to Korea for sixteen months. Didn't face the horrors so many did and made the ultimate sacrifice which is definitely the correct term in those cases. My hat is off to all of you who did station in 'Nam and returned home safely. A "thank you" is totally inadequate to express my admiration for you.

USCG '03-present.

Currently getting our butts kicked in the pearl of the Caribbean.  We came across a small boat with 5 or so folks onboard that had been disabled and drifting for 3 weeks...we've been beam-to 15' seas for the last 3 days towing them home on a slow roll.  These aren't close to the worst seas I've been in, but last night was the first time I've rolled out of my rack in 8 years of sea duty!

Thanks to all the Veterans out there that made this country great and gave me the opportunuty to do what I do...can't beat a sunrise or sunset in the middle of the ocean...strike that...I could go for a night or two in the big bed at home...
