Well, I came into it at the tail end ('73) when the
"lottery" came in and drew #350. Sorry that I didn't join
the fighting units and help you guys but I really do
appreciate everyone who did. I did serve, but in other ways.

I lost a LOT of friends in that damned war and still loosing
more today in Iraq and the other wars that "we're not
fighting".

Thanks guys, ALL of you!
