I voted other. I wear the uniform every day to work, but I'm not technically military until UTA weekends or TDY's, so I didn't vote active, but I still wear the suit.
I think my Dad's last duty station was Red Cloud, but he was ARMY.

Very proud to say I served. US Air Force 1972-1983.
Let me tell you that you are serving just as much as anyone else in uniform. Lots of active duty guys never went in harms way, but we all (including you) were subject to being called at the convenience of the USG. I was active dury airforce, served in RVN 1968-69. I was one of the unusual airmen who never served on a base. We would go to a mountain top and set up radar to ground direct B-52s. Our operation was called Operation Combat Skyspot and the missions were referred to as ARC Light mission because of the bomb flashes. I got bathed in Agent Orange and have multiple health problems related directly to the dioxins there. Enough that I have a hundred percent disability from it. Do I regret serving? HELL NO! I thought I was defending my country by going. Found out later how much they lied to us though.. I will still defend out country if needed. Blitzfike
I want to thank all of you that have served this great country.
Thank you for your service in Korea, my grandpa was a tank driver for the US Army there in 1951. He resides in Bartlesville as well.

We have been married for 37+ Years.
Thank you to you both, and congrats to you both on years served with each other
1966 President Johnson chose me as an 'US'. Basic at Fort Polk, AIT at another part of Polk. 27 months after sworn in, I promised I wouldn't bother the Army if they wouldn't bother me.
