Veterans Day

I just returned from a ceremony at the local college that honored Korea and Vietnam era veterans. It was sponsored by our local state representative and drew a large crowd. Each veteran received a certificate of appreciation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a lapel pin. I was glad to attend and got a certificate. Even had my picture taken with the state representative. All the best...

My twin brother and I did a tour in the U.S. Air Force from August 1962 until August 1966. You are correct, the Korean War vets served in the Forgotten War. My neighbor was in the U.S.Navy in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. All the best...
