Thank the good lord for choppers . Air support WAS and IS so very important. I loved the time I served at Hood , but would have preferred Nam.

Wether it is peacetime or during war. The fact remains that you served your country. Be proud of that fact. Being a Veteran does not say that you have to have had to be in battle, it means that you joined and served. Live Long And Prosper, SharleahLynn

[Guest lydia]

I am so impressed with the girls and their different services, Thank You all ,I feel so lucky to be in such company.

Hugs, Lydia

[Guest SharleahLynn]

Although I had to hide my real and true self, I was proud to serve in our Armed Forces as from what I have read thus far, each one of ya'll were/is. There is no greater honor than to defend your home soil , wether you survive or not. The reason I say survive or not is because of the men and women that paid the ultimate price. They paid with their lives. Who can pay a higher price? I'll tell you who.................NOBODY ! I apologise for going on and on, but when I think of the sacrifices made by all Veterans, I tend to get both Emotional , and Mad at the same time.

There are many Veterans who do not know about this thread, or are afraid to come post here for fear of being ridiculed or made fun of. Not anyone will do none of those things here, for all who post in here know what it is like and have the honor to stand up for that they did for this country, or the country where they served. All Veterans around the world , I salute you one and all

US ARMY 1972 ASA [ Lightening Fast Chicken Truckers] spies,chasing spies all over Boston and into every gay bar we would all fly. Drinking and partying away the weekend whilst our assigned spies waited outside the door. Oho what a time it was, life meant little-booze everything. Party today because there may not be a tommorow. [ this meant that majority of all graduates shipped out to Nam,some to Japan].

We had Green Berat A & B teams, Rangers all of the elite military folks there. Even NSA. Brother, there were more super spies in that little town than regular citizens.

Oops, I forgot to intro myself. I'm Bulldog 1948, a Ohio State Buckeye man.

71-73 ..... 7/17th 1st Cav. Div. Attack Helicopter Squadron. ...... Spent my tour stateside at Ft. Hood , Texas. Dang Army would not give me my Primary duty station choice. Ask for Nam, they said I was crazy for wanting to go there . 2 years later they gave me a section 4 discharge , I reckon they was trying to say I was only half crazy Sorry, could not resist the humorous remark . No, but really, I enjoyed the time I was in , even though I had to hide me. But at any rate, Glad to have you with us , come see us in the chatroom some as well. SharleahLynn
