[AT] Thank You Vets

[Gene Dotson]

    Spencer thanks for remembering us veterans. There were 10 boys in our 
family of 17 children. Six of those were military veterans. Three of us 
served in the USAF and three served in the army. Two of the army veterans 
saw active service in WW11 and Viet Nam. Fortunately the other Four of us 
served in relatively quiet times. My oldest grandson served in Iraq and 
Afghanistan and now suffers from PTSD which is a terrible Stress condition.

Just finished watching a program on Public TV profiling the returning and 
disabled veterans from the past century. Was a real eye opener.

Yes.  Thank you vets.   From a great-great grandfather in the civil war to 
great uncles in WWI and WWII, to an uncle that was pilot in Vietnam; I - 
like most of you - have a family legacy of service.  But I am also like the 
rest of my generation that came of age in the mid 70s.  We   missed the 'Nam 
draft by a few years and was also was given little reason by the culture of 
the time and by the military to sign up on purpose - so we didn't and have 
no personal understanding of the commitment and the service.

But I do recognize and honor that service.  Thank you.
