Hey Paradisefound:
2 things.
1. take me out of the running and likewise if I were considered, please give mine to a current active duty member. My time is past and todays hard chargers deserve all we can give them to carry the torch of Freedom.
2. Namvet69 and I have done more than crossed paths, we have become brothers with a common bond. There is no greater accolade than to say to a Viet-Nam vet " Welcome Home ".

Welcome home to both of you from another 67-68 Vietnam Vet!
I'll let run for awhile longer ....... some maybe missing it being with their family celebrating the holiday.
There will be 10 coins available for more posters to come in
PF....You are so caring. If I would happen to win I would want the coin to go to a family who lost someone in a war giving them something else to remember their loved one by.

Merry Christmas to everyone. It's 6:16 am EST, I'm having my first cup of coffee in front of a crackling fire 🔥. Grateful for my extended family of CU. Have a great holiday. Peace Roy

Right back at ya Roy! And again welcome home. Christmas in Nam wasn't that great as I remember.
Paradisefound, this is an amazing gesture! Thank you so much for the support of all current and former military members!! Merry Christmas to all! As for me, current US Air Force active duty. Been to combat in Iraq twice, Afghanistan once, and non-combat recently to Korea. I also thank all veterans past and present for my family’s safety and security.

There is no greater honor than to have served your Country! ALL OF YOU!
A Veterens Parade was crossing a bridge as I was driving the other way in my Post Office truck. I stopped, got out and held a salute for them as they passed me.
Yes.......................WELCOME HOME.

Wow! That 203mm howitzer is interesting and supersized. I can't imagine the sound and pressure when that monster is fired. My first hooch in Nam was down hill from a helipad with one 105 howitzer that spit out H&I fire round the clock. Peace Roy
Got together with relatives the last couple of days. One of my nephews is in this photo from George Bush's funeral proceedings. Quite an experience for a young guy.
I received my coin in the mail today and just want to say how greatful I am to @Paradisefound for this wonderful gift. You are such an awesome person and the world needs more thoughtful people like you. It is my pleasure to serve the people of this country and I hope that in some small way I am contributing to our safety and defense. I will cherish this coin in my collection!
My other uncle Gene was a POW in the Korean War. Just died a year ago still caried a bullet in him. Never talked about it, in fact when ask before he died he said " not a damn thing good came out of that war". Worked as a Forman laying track on the railroad, never considered disability 🏅
Funny how the 99% never get credit. They came home and worked hard,
These men were doers not talkers. Watch what people say and watch what people do. I've been blessed 🇺🇸
