Happy Birthday! Ed.

I loved the way people would insult you but not directly. They would say something derogatory about Vietnam vets knowing you had been one. College was a ***** in California with all the liberal...

You have been in the Marine what, not even two years. I doubt seriously that you know a lot about combat. I was a supply pog, I earned a CAR and I never heard the expression pog or remf in combat. ...

It is about time the Europeans stepped up to the plate, this one is in their back yard. We don't need to get involved in another pile of crap in the middle east. We continue to get involved in...

I have two K bars, one I carried in Vietnam and one given to me in a shadow box. Fortunately I never had to use the one in Vietnam on anyone but was great for opening cans and cutting things when...

12 years in the Marine corps, 29 years federal service. Retired from DHS after 41 years federal service in 2006.

You did your time, let someone else carry the ball from here. You have a family to raise and you need to be at home. I was a retread and found it a very unsatisfying experience. This is mainly...

Yes under CHAMPVA, I believe you can apply for it at www.va.gov.

If the command knew what they were doing, they would put this man in front of a medical board. Sorry didn't read the last post.

Send a few messages to the pirates like the Russians did last week and there won't be a problem. Russians retook a ship from pirates killing one in the process. Put the rest back in their boat and...

I had my 21st and 22nd birthdays there, just two more days in paradise.

I hope you are right Rocky for the people who really need the money this will bring in.

All this means is more delay for those filing claims for one of the new three presumptive AO diseases. They can't process claims yet as the regulations haven't been published. It is a pipe dream...

I made every rank from LCpl to SSgt twice through no fault of my own. I had the most fun as a Cpl.:)

The CAR is an individual award and was not awarded to units. It wasn't approved until 1969. During the Gulf War and current hostilities, it has been awarded to Navy ships. It can be issued to...

I believe the ribbon she is talking about is the Vietnam gallantry cross w/palm unit citation. This was awarded to all who served in Vietnam as was the civic action ribbon. The gallantry cross with...
