Seattle in June kinda made it worth it. 😄Yeah no shit. Ecnl is an absurd amount of travel. I love nationals. It’s like 10 days. They just assume parents can take off.
I don't think I knew that. Big salute to your dad! Did he get any kind of disability for it?Wounded twice on consecutive days in Jan of 68. We were just going through all his records for some VA related stuff. Shot up and mortared on some hill in the central highlands, medevac'd to Pleiku to Cam Rahn Bay to Tokyo and then Walter Reed. A little over 6 months total, most of it in Tokyo and Walter Reed. First time I'd ever seen the telegram saying he'd been wounded and the description of what happened. They sent one to mom and my grandparents.
As a kid it was wild to see all the scars. He'd be out in the sun all the time, but the scars wouldn't tan. Looked like someone painted beige stripes on his neck, chest and right arm.
I never heard from either the Legion or I probably would have joined.Draft Old Style $2.50
Yeah, he's officially disabled.I don't think I knew that. Big salute to your dad! Did he get any kind of disability for it?
That's good. He deserves something for all that.Yeah, he's officially disabled.
That is why I only joined 8 years ago. A number of people I shoot with were SAL, and talked me into going to a couple of their events, so I did, enjoyed the company, and joined.I never heard from either the Legion or I probably would have joined.
They didn't seem real welcome to VN-era vets at the time (I was not in VN, but was in while it was going on. I'm a Veteran of Foreign Bars).
