Thank you, guys for your service! My brother Frank put in 2 1/2 Tours in Nam...It would have been 3 but both our parents were dying & he decided to come home to see them for the last time! He made it just in time to see our Dad who died a week after he got home. Our Mom died 1 year and 2 days later! He was in the 101st Airborne and was a Green Beret.

A big thanks to all who served and still serve.

Also want to thank the families who have had to worry while their moms, dads or sons and daughters (and brothers or sisters) went in harms way to keep us safe and free.

Thanx, and Thanx to all for their service as well. Army '86-97 - and lucky enough that I was never deployed in harms way. A unicorn of sorts...

I know two guys who have Agent Orange disabilities, and another who suffers from bouts of PTSD.

Yep, three cancer surgeries for a "rare" type from exposure of defoliants. That form of cancer is almost unheard of now, as it usually shows up within 20 years of exposure plus they haven't made the commercial brands of those herbicides since the 1970's.

My brother Frank ( above) lost his legs to agent orange in the late 80's!
But he also was a chain smoker....So everything worked against him!
