Doc,
Always thanking a Vet is a Great personal policy, thank you!
It's very refreshing &
strange for Us Viet Nam Vets, who had to to take off their Uniforms, etc on the plane Home.
We would be spit on at the airport, etc. if we still had them on when we got off the plane in Calif & elsewhere!
It was Not a good time to have "Served Your Country"!
(As you can see I'm still somewhat bitter & I believe I have earned a right to it.)
My best,
Bill
