To my fellow veterans - My thanks for your service and a job well done.
I do appreciate the thank you sentiment given to me but I did not serve for the thanks. I did it with a sense of duty to this country and to honor my father, himself a 29 year veteran (retired as a Command Sergeant Major E9) who served from WW2 to Korea to Vietnam. After he passed away i was going through his stuff and found a very surprising item - he was awarded a Bronze Star which I proudly display in my house.. He never spoke about it or how he earned it. The Korean War must have been its own kind of hell.
