[QUOTE="db-2, post: 353879, member: 4743"] As I grew older and look back at my life and the various thing that have happen, I think about my 22 months in artillery and my time in nam. In 1968 I was 21 and just finish college. Not sure how the draft board knew I was getting done with college, but they told me to report for my physical in May of that year. Ma asked me to go back to school and get the 2s status back to avoid the draft. Went to enroll but as I sat waiting for the person to enroll me, I decide I had enough of school. Went to the draft board and asked why they had not told me to report for service. He said if I want, I will get a letter next week. I know if I did what ma wanted I never would of went. However, that time in the service was one of my greatest moments in my life. Never would of happen without the draft. Yes, i was a part of death and as an in-mature 22-year-old seen things that shaped my life forever. It was all positive for the most part and now people say thank you to me because I served. I say thanks to this country for giving me that opportunity. db [/QUOTE]
