As an American, I believed you have to give back to the country that gave you the freedom that was given to me.

Well said SSG Gert. Today all these "woke" Americans don't have a clue how blessed we all are to have the freedom and liberties that our forefathers handed down to us. If they did, any of them with half-a-brain would be VERY PATRIOTIC indeed.

My Dad was Army, two uncles were Army and Navy. My choice though, wanted education benefits and get out of town.

My JROTC instructors influenced me to join the military. It was the best job and experience that I ever had.

I had just graduated from high school and my older brother had joined the Navy. I thought of getting a Navy job to give me a possible future career. Left home on July 5, 1961, attended boot camp, EM School and ended up with just over seven years service. Continued in the electrical field after service and spent over forty years in Electrical Maintenance and Engineering. Last work day was 1/8/2018 and I was seventy four years old.

I always wanted to, but I never took the steps to do it, eventually got kicked out and then my uncle being a prior Marine took me in, and said You’re not leaving my house until you join the Marine Corps, there was my push !
