I joined the Navy when I was 17. By the time I was 18 I was in Viet Nam. Went back again when I was 19. Was on the gun line when the war was officially ended January 27th 1973.
I have since served in four other wars as a U.S. Merchant Marine. I am retired now and AO has caught up to me. I'm not house bound yet but it's close. Going to church today for Easter services. I still have a lot to be thankful for.
