My husband was in the AF from 1966 thru 1989. Ramstein (66-69;81-84), Pope (69), Chanute (70-73, fuels instructor), Ubon (73-74), Zweibrucken (74-77), Kapaun AS (77-79), Altus (70-81),Fargo ND (84-86), and Little Rock (86-89. I followed him every where but Ubon. We went through the Carter years and thought that was awful, but what has happened during Slick Willy's tenure is just plain unbelievable. What will it take for people to realize we need a stong and intelligent military? Hey pmxpilot, I work for the AF as the editor of the C-130 Weapons Instructor Course, its a great aircraft!

My Real Hero was my Brother, SGT Lynwood A. Smith, that volunteered in the US Army, Served in the 1St Division, 18TH Infantry, North African Campaign, WW2. Captured by the Germans, Escaped with another Corporal, leaped over a high ledge, and landed over 100 feet below, Germans sprayed the place that he landed and left him for dead, he crawled for miles on his stomach due to severe muscle injuries in his legs. An English scouting party picked him up, and took him to an Aid Station. I know he received The Silver Star, and Many other Medals, but most of all he was proud to serve his country. He has now passed on, but he will always be my hero.

Memories I will carry forever. . .
1986 - My daughter (Saphire here on L.dot) when she was 13 years old, putting her arm around her dad’s shoulder as he knelt and cried at the names of his fallen comrades on the traveling wall. (US Army 1968-1972, Sniper, 1st Cav, silver star, bronze star, three purple hearts)
1971 - Her dad at our wedding in his dress greens, medals, and still-bandaged wounds.
1999 - The look of pride on a young man’s face as they handed him the flag from his dad’s casket. (My late fiancé - Navy Veteran)
Christmas Day, 1999 - Daddy, 75 years old, lifting up his 2 ½ year old grandson to show him the framed patch from his WWII Glider Pilot unit. (US Army Air Corp - 1942 - 1945)
God Bless all you Veterans! Thank you all!

Fwd, (Garlstedt, Germany). My brother was with the 24th Inf during "Desert Storm". My father was a navigator in a B-24 "Liberator" (Southern Europe, 1944). My ancestors marched with Gen. Lee and rode with Gen. Marion against the British prior to that. Always "Duty, Honor, and Country" were important in our family. IMHO...to support Bill Clinton...is to spit in the face of every man and woman who ever served their country Honorably.

Enlisted, 1968. Basic, AIT, Airborne, Special Forces training. Then to Vietnam, 1969-70. Diverted to 75th Ranger Company, pulled 33 Ranger missions. Earned CIB, Purple Heart and other miscellaneous doo-dads (you show me yours, I'll show you mine). Then to Germany, 509th Airborne. Got out, back to college.
Needed money, joined National Guard Ranger Company (the ONLY Nat'l Guard combat unit to go to VN). The Guard screwed around with my direct commission, so I went to Ft. Benning OCS.
Later: Candidate, CIOR (Reserve military pentathlon). Transferred to Reserves, commanded Special Forces Detachment 125, 12th Special Forces Group. Did some other things.
Returned to Active Duty in 1981. Did a number of assignments, including being selected for USMC Command & Staff College. Considered by some Marines to be more hard-core than most Marines. Spent a second year going through their program equivalent to Army's SAMS. Did a lot of budget analysis there, as well as spending a lot of time on the Hill. By the way, if a Marine and especially a Marine officer, plays dumb with you, he's probably setting you up for a slam-dunk. Believe they are stupid at your own risk.
Chief, Non-Resident Training, Ft. Bragg, where, among many other things, I turned down a number of requests from police and other agencies to get training from some of our folks, including those with Greek alphabet designations. They didn't like that, so me and my boss got re-organized, and that function was taken away.
Operations officer for a Civil Affairs Bde, managed the mobilization of the unit and subordinate units to Bosnia, dealing with national and local media (local's not bad. National are scum). Retired 2 yrs ago as LTC. Then went to Bosnia for the State Dept.

Sound General quarters, this is no drill. After my service in Viet Nam, I came home and served as a police officer until forced to retire on disability. I look at the mockery made of the U.S. Constitution by the likes of clinton and the liberal/socialist/commie bloc in this country and tears of rage come to my eyes.

Please allow me to add my late father's name to the list: Ronald L. Somerville. He was a Navy dive bomber pilot in the Pacific during WWII & was the first American pilot rescued from Japanese inland waters during the war. He dropped out of college to enlist right after Pearl Harbor. Daddy never talked about medals, but he got the Navy Cross & the Distinguished Flying Cross. During the Vietnam War, if our family was in an airport, he always went up and shook the hands of soldiers on leave. We prayed for them, too, at every meal. Daddy died in 1986, but if he were alive today, I guarantee you that he would be thoroughly disgusted with the Clintons. I salute all of our veterans!

I was an airborne LT trained in the backwoods of Naha by 1st Gp which was very much appreciated when I got to my MAAG post in 63 at the N end of Ashau. Hard to believe how cold it was up there on those foggy ridges at times... . Irony of irony 8 years later was involved in publishing the "Pentagon papers" which basically said the CIA believed we would have been better off keeping the war as a low-intensity maintenance operation of the kind I knew as a young LT, than widening it as we did with a major US involvement. Still wonder what might have happened if the Kennedy's hadn't agreed to the Diem coup and we had kept a low profile.

I spent twenty two years riding NAVY ships and COAST GUARD cutters all over the world and it was my choice to do so. I talked my younger brother out of joining any of the armed forces because I felt my contribution covered my family's obligation. I continue to have mixed feelings about those that refused to go. We all have to answer for our decisions, right or wrong.If I was a 17-19 year old kid when NAM started big time I may not have answered the call.

As a teenager, I was in the Civil Air Patrol. My
first "duty" with CAP was the Alaskan Earthquake back in the early 60's. My
lottery number was too high to be drafted, however I felt it necessary to
enlist. Spent all of my 4 years at the, 1155th Technical Operations Squadron,
Hq. USAF.
When Klinton skipped out (ran away) from the military, he didn't have the
opportunity to change from a boy into a man. He didn't learn what it was like
to put himself, after his country and countrymen. He didn't learn that ones
life is worth the cost of freedom and liberty. And he never learned that true
greatness and honor, will be found on the battlefield, with good battling evil.
But in the final chapter, it will be the American soldier, that will have, an
eternal legacy.

United States "By God Navy" 1976-98 Dual Qualed EP-3E (land based), EA-3b(Sea based). Air Recon. Flew Special Projects 89-91 (awesome tour) Academy puke, Cdr-USN (Ret). Airforce Brat (33 year Chief Master Sgt for a Dad). By my awsome wife's (20 years, two boys-two girls) count I've flown into (and thankfully out of) 76 different countries. Last tour for CNO Space and
Electronic Warfare Director, Pentagon. Retired because this asshole of a CINC made sure it would not be fun anymore. Turned down a great deal to get out.
Still young and though I walk through the valley of darkness I am still the meanest son of a bitch here.
