I feel it important to recognize those who have served their country and helping preserve their ways of life. So it's time to sound off and I'll start

US Navy 1966-1975
Viet Nam twice

Retired as a CWO4 in electronics.

Did my Military Service right out of High School, hoping it might last like my Grandfather...Career over 30 years, major injury ended that idea.

Awesome. No matter what country you are from any military person should feel and can feel proud of their service. I can make a special category for you guys. You just need to tell me to add you in. It will show as a colored banner under your forum name.

It is done - a proper badge.

The one thing sometime we forget is all the people who never wore a uniform of any military service, but without them doing their jobs the Military Member could not do theirs.
