Coming Soon
Hello my MILITARY Brothers,
This post is for Military only. I have been thinking about time in Service. Some volunteered some were drafted. I myself volunteered for service. My Dad was a WW2 and Korea Veteran. When I asked my Dad should I go in Service he said do you love your country, I said yes! I went straight away to recruiting and was asked what do you want! I said I want to make sure the commies don't come here and change our way of life. Went to basic training at Ft. Jackson, S.C. holy crap what a trip, went to Ft Sill Oklahoma for Artillery training, then to Ft. Bliss TX for Red-eye missile training. Hoping for duty in Vietnam as I requested I was routed to Korea with duty in the 2nd Inf Division. Well my Dad said at least you will be safer in Korea than Vietnam having been there! I believed him as every son believed his father! All was well until a fire mission was called in the Uijongbu Corridor just shy of the DMZ! Went across the Imjin River to Fire base 4PAPA1 and commenced Fire Mission operations! The Fire base was only 2 clicks South of the DMZ. 5 minutes into the fire mission 5 North Korean infiltrators were detected in the wire and dealt with most ricketic! Things in Korea were not much different than things in Vietnam just not as hot! Not comparing duty in either place but hoping Korea will not be the Forgotten War as it has been for ages. Please don't forget all Korea Veterans!! Love, loyalty and respect!
