[QUOTE="Terry Schultz, post: 568268, member: 62886"] Well written Nelson and it RINGS of the truth. I was drafted near the end of the Vietnam era; 21 years old. With a pregant wife. I when to the Army, not out of patriotism but out of Duty. My MOS was 11B, a "grunt". I ended up not being sent to Nam (They started scaling down while I was in NCO school in my 9th month of duty). I did not want to go and had a very good job that I had to leave. I try to do my best in whatever situation I am or was in. I found out that after I finished my two years, I was more patriotic. Not so much outwardly but moreso towards how I felt about my country and what it allows us as individuals to do. Was I a hero for going, NO. What a shame that it took 9/11 for Patriotism to erupt in America. WWII was a tremendous time of sacrifice for all Americans. Terry [/QUOTE]
