No, I'm not a veteran. However, I've helped my Dad fit his artificial leg on. He lost his real one somewhere in Vietnam. I've waved goodbye to my brother when he went to Afganistan and kissed my husband goodbye when he went to Iraq.
If (when) my husband is sent back to the middle east I'll patiently wait for him to come home again all the while lighting candles and offering prayers for all our men in uniform, both past and present.

I served in the Peace Corps
Should that not count in your poll? I am proud of my service.
For what it's worth, I would have been the first to join the military
dayuum son, glad you made it back!!
Yes, those are MK-48's torpedoes being loaded in the picture. These particular torpedoes were practice torpedoes with no warhead, we were doing a torpedo shoot excercise where we shot the practice torpedoes at a surface ship.
