Fifty years, can you believe it? Thanks to all of you (us) who served. Let me give you some background. In 1967, I didn't feel like a hero when I volunteered. There was a draft, and I didn't feel like I was alone. Today, there is no draft, and those poor suckers who volunteer are alone and they can't come home after 12 months like we could. I think they are heroes. What is going on today that there is no compulsory service, even running a typewriter stateside? I know that we haven't had a Chief Executive who has served for some time, but it's time a draft dodging Chief Executive bites the bullet and calls for mandatory military service. See you tomorrow on Viet Nam Veterans Day.
