First of all it is a great feeling to be with folks who have such a passion for vets and their family's. Heaven knows so many of our returning vets (In more recent years) were treated with such disrespect that it makes one ill to think about it. My Dad served his country with pride in WW2 and my brother served in a very unpopular war two generations later. My dad passed two years ago and that event has just rekindled a fire or quest for knowledge to trace his path through his military career. I am hoping that through this site I can come to know some of you in a more personal way. Just having a place to share similar experiences is such a joy. Marion you have done a wonderful job from what I can see so far 
although a Newbie.
I hope to hear from anyone who may have served with my dad.
