For those of you who qualify, visit Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association. "Vets helping Vets" is what we do. Well worth a look for any rider who has verifiable combat experience.
Never served. Had a wife and child when Viet Nam really got going and the draft started. BUT, because of my dad, U.S. Army WWII, Uncle Gib, the same, 2 cousins US Navy, Korea, son-in-law serving in Afghanistan right now, and many friends who did serve in Viet Nam (a couple who never came back and one who did make it back in a chair and another without and eye and still carrying shrapnel, I proudly stand the Flag lines with the PGR. One of the hardest missions for me emotionally was a deployment of a group of young people some of whom were married and holding their babies one last time before leaving. That's because I knew my son-in-law would be deployed soon after that leaving my pregnant daughter home with 4 other children. An absolutely fabulous mission was the welcome home of a WWII Honor Flight. There were about 80 WWII vets who got to fly to DC to see their memorial. Very touching. I could go on, but you get the idea. This is my way of honoring those who did serve and my way of giving back to them It is and honor and a privelidge.

Was in USAF,68-72. Was in Binh Thuy AB south of Can-Tho,80miles south of Siagon.Down in the rice paddies on the Mekong River. More like an outpost. Been thinking of joining the Patriots for awhile now. Going on a ride this Saturday to pick-up a piece of the Trade Center. Then bring it back to Elkart,Indiana.Thanks for the Welcome Home since all we got was spit on. We just did what we were told, just like now. Can you tell I am bitter????? Thanks to all that served since!

Retired Air Force MSGT,1958-1979. Stationed East coast, West coast, Florida, Newfoundland, Viet nam 1970-71(Cam Rhan, Nha Trang, Danang). May have enlisted a couple of you.....was Air Force Recruiter 72-79. God Bless all who served, including their families who also sacrificed greatly!!
24 Years USAF. Electronic Countermeasures / Electronic Warfare Systems. Two short overseas tours (Nam & Egypt) and two long overseas tours (Spain & Germany).
Found positive experiences at every station. Even in Viet Nam there were things to remember that were not bad. "Our Uncle" shuffled me and the family all over the globe and I wouldn't exchange that memory or the friends we made for anything.
Proud we served and happy to be retired!!!

Retired Air Force, 1981-2001. Served as an aircraft mechanic, field training instructor, flightline production superintendent, and training sqaudron operations manager. Stationed in California, England, and Texas, with numerous jaunts to the Phillipines and Okinawa. Made it to E-8 before I turned in my papers.
Now I sit in a cubicle all day. I finally figured out why they have padded partitions. That's so I don't hurt myself when I fall asleep.

Gone but not forgotten.
Was in Cairo during 1979-1981 as part of the UN Treaty Support Organization, US Military Observer Group staff. Stationed out of UN HQ in Jerusalem, and flew to Cairo, Damascus, Amman and Beirut one Tues-Thurs each, once a month for admin duties. Loved Egypt - did quite a bit of sightseeing while we were there.
Also had five years in Germany (Erlangen and Stuttgart), got to spend two summers in Blanes (outside Barcelona). Everything was wonderful in all those cities; I miss 'em all!
