    I am ineligible to enter as I am not a veteran. However, I would like to acknowledge my Dad who was a disabled vet. He served in WW2 in Italy. Was wounded. One story he told me before he died was how he and other soldiers would catch some sleep in coffins on occasion. Unused of course. Also had an Uncle in Korea and Cousin in Nam in 1967. Brothers in Air Force and Navy. Shout out to them and all the Vets. Thanks for letting me post this.

    My father was an Army corpsman in Korea during the Chosin Reservoir offensive. He was taken captive by Chinese infantry. I am only now finding out about the horror he endured while captive. I would not be here if he had not been part of a prisoner exchange. For those of you who may not think military service is much of a sacrifice - please think about it.
