From the son of a veteran: 🙏🙏
:thumbup:
My Dad's was a vet too. He served in the US Navy.
My Dad was in Vietnam. He was trained as a helicopter mechanic but the night they before they were going to Vietnam, his sergeant went into town, they were in Alabama, got into a fight and got shot. This put off their deployment long enough that my Dad was able to point out that he was also an accountant, so he did that in Saigon instead of being out there in the s**t.
My grandfather flew missions in Germany. We don't talk much about what he did but my sense is he dropped bombs on civilian areas. When he came home he was not the same.
