As a veteran, I especially commend those veterans who served in combat zones. I never left the states but know many who served in Viet Nam. My military life was easy. Their military lives were not.

I Vietnam, I bet, has quite a few, since quite a few of us men in their '60's and early '70's in age still enjoy being with a woman.Yep, Vietnam was my theatre; USMC '69-'71. Happy Veterans Day, I am grateful to be alive to celebrate it.

I was there for several months, and insurgents attacked our perimeter twice while I was there. Those attacks, one with rifles and one with rockets, were hit and run attacks. In neither case was I ever in any real danger of being injured. The ever present danger that we faced on a daily basis was the presence of land mines; therefore, staying on the safe side of the tape and wire was a personal priority.
I doubt we have any WW-2 Combat Vets, and those involved in Korea would certainly be way up in age. Vietnam, I bet, has quite a few, since quite a few of us men in their '60's and early '70's in age still enjoy being with a woman.
We also have the Bosnian War, the various conflicts in Africa, Granada, Panama, all of the Middle Eastern Conflicts, any where American Soldiers were in danger of combat.
