    Did a search and didn't find anything like this so here goes.

    I'm sure we have many vets on this site. As it is Veterans Day, let us celebrate our service by noting when and how we each served. I'll start

    1966 -1975: US Navy and reached E6 rank
    1976 - 1996 : US Coast Guard retiring an a W4

    Favorite duty station was Kodiak Alaska though I enjoyed being in Italy and Greece for 5 years.

    Your turn.

    Thank you Poppi and Jacob for your service.
    I served 1967-70. I spent one year in Vietnam at the 93rd Evac Hosp. I saw and treated thousands of soldiers. I would love to meet someone who went through the 93rd. I was there March 68 to March 69. It got a bit depressing at one point, but I got over it (learned to cope). Made the rank of Sp5 while there. Finished off at Fort Benning. I wear a Vietnam Veteran cap everywhere to flush out vets and also to remind everyone else that there are many men and women out there who are still serving and need our support.
