Unfortunately, and ironically, my dad was a WWII veteran, but he passed away on Veteran's Day.

Thanks everyone! With Joe's answers, the assignment is complete. I knew the CB would come through!

Hi, I'm Mary Alice and have just started visiting the Community Board. I've been learning stuff on The Dis for several months now and love the place.

Anyway, my husband, Gary is a Vietnam vet. He has a permanent and total disability from his service including two tours in-country as a US Marine before the age of 21. He has lots of painful memories but his favorite story is this: He was awfully homesick and lonely and wrote to grandmother asking her to send him something from home. She did, bless her heart. She sent him a radio.......... that needed to be plugged in. He said he remembers it pouring rain outside his jungle tent miles from any thing remotely modern as he opened the package, looked inside and nearly fell down laughing.

Happy Halloween and a round of Pixie Dust for EVERYONE!
