Dave, no appologies needed here.
Thanks for your service. I was in C/1/3 July 66 - August 67. Spent some time on USS Okinawa and 5 months at Khe Shan before all the crap hit the fan.
After hearing a veteran on Fox and Friends recommend celebrating our lost friends, I bought breakfast for my group at Paneras on Veterans Day to honor and celebrate my 6 close Marines from boot camp (2) and my platoon that didn't make it back.
Last September, I had the honor of being a Greater Peoria Honor Flight Guardian for a veteran who served as a Corpsman in Korea and then two tours as a Marine in Vietnam 2/7 and 1/5.
If anyone in the Bloomington area would like a presentation or information about the Honor Flight program, let me know. I am the local representative for the Greater Peoria Honor Flight.
