It's very likely that those of us who replied to the original post three years ago are still veterans.

Better questions �
� Who are the oldest and earliest veterans here?
� Who here reached the highest rank?
� Who here served the longest active duty?
� Who here saw the most combat?
� Who here was wounded in combat?
� Who here earned which medals?
� Who here is now on active duty in a combat area?
At seventy-eight (seventy-nine in January), I may be one of the oldest and earliest (enlisted, regular, 4 August 1949) � but not even included in any of the other categories.

I'll tell you Les, I learned a lot from the Mech guys that I was around. Nothing but respect for them. They work hard, put in lots of hours, and when you need some firepower fast, they can't be beat.
