I don't often do this but, I think this is the time and place for it -
War is an ugly thing, But not the ugliest of things; The decayed and degrading state of moral and patriotic feeling; Which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; Nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety Is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, Unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill We live by this!!

sasquatch:
Sorry I'm late on the reply, been busy. Definetly the 6922 Electronic Security Squadron (Double Deuce) or Cobra's the logo on the squadron patch. The number you ref'd may have been the Radio Squadron, or flight group from years past.

I was never in the military but I have served my country for the past 27 plus years in the Civil Service. Kind If wish I had joined the military after Vietnam. It was pretty much over by the time Igot out of high school, and once the war was over there did not seem to be much point to joing the military then (that was to a then very young me). Still though, I think in the past 27 plus years, I have done my part to serve her with honor, sometimes even at the cost of my well being.
All the best, Glenn B

Almost joined the Marines. Had a family emergency and didn't. Thought about Army lately, been more focused on school so looked into corpsman but I think I might stay civilian.

It appears this thread has come to it's end.
Just one more post to say "Thank you" to all that have, are, and will be doing the work that keeps this great country, the best that's ever been. Tuckerdog1
