Re: Veterans Day
After High School went in the Army 1959 and got out in 62. Was about broke so went to work for Ford. Money was a lot better there. They wanted us to drive a Ford. So I bought a Model A Ford and they left me alone after that. $1200 I paid for the Ford and a good car. Did not miss the Army much.

Re: Veterans Day
[QUOTE=leon bee;1550975]I guess it was something like 48 years ago for me...........my ears are still ringing.
I was called up into the Australian army 50 years ago in Oct 1967 to do my 2 years National service. My ears are still ringing as well. My grandfather served 4 years in France in WW1 and came home in 1919 with damaged lungs from the gas. We will always remember these remarkably brave men. Lest we forget. Regards, Kevin. |
