Regardless of your branch of service, my family and I thank all of you veterans.
AF wouldn't take me in '65. Requested to be returned to Oakland Induction Center three more times, still no go.
Greatly admire all of you who have served, and those of you still serving. You folks are MY heros.

 Can't believe it's been over 10 years since I retired. Good Job! Welcome to the club.

Congrats, I pulled the pin in 2000.

It is a definite reality check in making a change like that. Enjoy yourself and thanks for serving.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

 :salute Congrats!!!!!!!!

Retired in 2000, seems like so long ago, but yet just like yesterday at the same time.  Wish you the best in your new life to come.
