While on vacation last month, my wife and I stopped by the Vietnam Veterans memorial at Eagle's Nest New Mexico. Very impressive facility.....and a very moving tribute to the Viet Nam veterans.

Interesting statistic that I learned while I was there.

The average age of the frontline soldiers who served in WWII....26. The average age of the frontline soldier that served in Viet Nam....19.

I'm a Mean Green, US Army Fighting Machine, and proudly served my country in Viet Nam. I'm a bad sumbitch!

And thanks to all of my fellow Veterans, my Viet Nam Veteran Brothers, and especially those in our armed forces serving in Iraq.

I visted Washington DC this past summer and toured the memorials to the veterans and fighting men and women of Vietnam, WWII and Korea. When I asked why there is no memorial to the veterans of WWI , I was told that there is not enough of them still alive to finance one. Made me sick.

U.S. Army Medevac Helicopter Pilot 1989-1995. Served in "Desert Storm" and "Provide Comfort" and flew my ass off out there. Wildest flying I ever did.

I salute all my military brothers and thank them for what they have given, and what they are still doing both overseas and at home. Sometimes I miss the military, but most times I am just happy to have served my country...

GMG!!!
