Bud_Bent Moderator Posts: 3310	Golden Corral Military Appreciation Monday Nov 11^th, 2007, 9:36pm Tomorrow, November 12th, is Military Appreciation Monday at Golden Corral restaurants. From 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, veterans can receive a free dinner. Rose and I have enjoyed attending a couple of these, and listening to stories from fellow veterans. Info from Golden Corral can be found here.

I put in about 6 years from 82-88 in the Navy. Spent some time in the gulf in the pre-war phase shooting at Iranians, and a couple of Iraqi's. Was last stationed on the FFG-24 the Jack Williams. Which has since been retired and sold to Bahrain. Take Care, Nelson.

I just barely missed going to Vietnam, as things were winding down in 1971, and troops coming home were not being replaced. I was in Field Artillery, and spent most of my time at Fort Hood.

I was discharged about the same time as my bike was built and don't even know where my DoD whatchacallit form is. Opus

Hats off to all you vets! I admire all of you. I was drafted but Nixon ended the draft before I had reported so I was excused. I was in ROTC in high school and college and was a competitive shooter and often wished I'd gone ahead and signed up.
Your willingness to serve your country (that means "us") is very appreciated.

Sorry for this late post.

I send my sincere thanks to all of you guys who gave your blood and sweat so that I can live in freedom!
THANK YOU!!

Hey Bud,

I was drafted in 1972. Two bus loads of us went from Odessa to Abilene for our physicals. We got poked and prodded and every orifice of our bodies inspected. What a bunch of long haired goofs. Remember the tongue depressor? After all was said and done, they didn't take a single one of us. We all went home. My lottery number was 28. We were the last group to go through the lottery process. I believe. I keep my draft card framed.
