It doesn't matter when you served, you were there and that is all that matters. While you are in, anything can happen.
Thank a soldier for making sure we have our amendment rights, politicians and cowards don't do anything to protect them.

Walking anywhere :regular_waving_emot

Just had tomatoes, zucchini, fried potatoes and strawberries more or less fresh from the garden for lunch --- being blessed may be better than being wealthy!
