Veterans Sign In

[RCGoodin]

Since Veterans Day is Monday, I thought a little recognition was appropriate.

Thank you all for your service. It is truly that service that makes this country great.

I was US Army from January 1970 through August 1971. I am a Vietnam Vet and served there 4 months as an Infantryman, 4 months a Helicopter Door Gunner and 4 months as a Company Clerk. If I had it to do all over again, I'd have just been a Company Clerk, just like Radar O'Reilly.

Thank all active duty and veterans for their service. I was in the Army from March '64 to January '67, mostly with the 3rd Infantry Division in Aschaffenburg, Germany. We were part of Division Artillery (2nd Battalion, 41st Artillery, 155mm SP) and I was a Recon Sergeant heading the Forward Observer Section. Many of out officers were sent to Vietnam and we only had two officers per Battery so Sergeants filled Officers' positions. Funny, I was still paid as an E-5!

Thanks to all who have served. Especially the SEABEES who made our tour in Vietnam a whole lot more comfortable than it would have been without their service.

Never served, but was an Army Brat for 20+ years (I'm still a brat, really). My father was a Ranger and left for Vietnam just after I was born. He is fortunately still with us. Thank you to all you veterans!
