I loved seeing all the photos shared on Facebook the last couple days — family members proud of their loved ones that served our country. Sadly, many of those good looking service dudes are long gone now. 🙁
The best one was shared by a work friend:
While on the bus heading for the plane to take them to Vietnam, two guys were pulled off to be part of the Old Guard, the ceremonial unit of the Army. My Bill was one of them.
I can’t even imagine how he must’ve felt… that would be like hitting the lottery, wouldn’t it?
Katie is one brave woman!
Katie came to visit last night with a secret. She’s not told her Momma yet and I predict fireworks. His name is Willy.
Now you know: 61% of US troops killed in Vietnam were under the age of 21. The overall average age was 23.
