I think MacKay's post sorta proved that....

I'm lucky I wasn't a combat vet....just a vet... wondered my entire life If I would have made it out of there...

My stepdad is 90 now....typical 90 yr old looking guy...yet in younger days, his 49 months in Vietnam, the kind of missions he flew...
C130 Blackbird missions.. shot down 13 times...countless other times, came home and the 130 they had been in, become something to pull spare parts off of...
junked to never fly again...

i thank the Good Lord for everyone of our vets in harms way who make it home, especially make it home whole....
