<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Interesting you ask this question. I have known recently discharged members resist falling into their perception of the stereotypical "veteran." But as the years go on, they migrate over. From the patience we learned while serving, us veterans are waiting for them.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I enjoyed meeting veterans of all branches and all types of service. Some of my fondest memories are meeting Vietnam and World War II vets and listening to them talk. I have learned much from talking to those who come before me and trying to pass on what I know to those who come after me. I do enjoy the fellowship of veterans more than the fellowship of those who have not served

So our kids, grand kids, and maybe their great grand-kids don't have to walk our walk. I don't think anyone on here would change a thing to keep things safe.
