Un-Happy Anniversary

Yesterday was the 40th Re-Birthday of the day I was discharged from the US Army and today is the 40th Un-Happy Anniversary of the day I was drafted into the army. I guess I shouldn't complain too much. I was wounded and almost died in Vietnam, but through a series of events after that, I've lead a great life all because of being wounded and serving those two years for Uncle Sam. Yep, I've been a very lucky guy in so many ways.

Happy Re-Birthday to Me!!!!!

Forty years ago today I was discharged from the US Army and reborn as a civilian. At least it felt like I was reborn. I spent two years in the army, sent to Vietnam and wounded by a claymore mine after being there for just one-month and two days. I spent almost three months in various hospitals recovering from my many wounds. I turned down a medical discharge, so I was sent to Fort Meade, Maryland for the remaining 16 months of my tour. Those time were some of the best times of my life!

If you haven't done so already, you can read more about those couple of years of my life on my Vietnam story blog.
