With the anniversary of D-Day, and Flag day taking place recently there has been a lot of thought given to the people who fought and in many cases died to our freedom. I don't just mean in the US.
Keeping those things in mind I was wondering if we have any vets here. I know Slappy was in the service, and look what it did to him!!!: ) I don't know if you want to mention it here, but I want to take a moment to thank you for the service you provided to your country.
All of the freedoms we have including the chance to simply sit around and listen to music was won for all of us.
I served 10 years in the US Air Force as a Combat Communicator. Trained with the US Army Rangers at Ft. Benning and completed US Army Air Assult School.
I was in: Operation Just Cause Operation Desert Storm 3 Tours fighting the drug war in Central & South America
I was asked to "stand up" the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) immeadiately after 9-11. I continue to serve here at TSA and serve my country for many more years!
My Grandfather, Father and two uncles also served in the US Air Force.
Air Force, 67 to 71. Vietnam 69 to 70. I first got into stereo listening to my friend's Teac Reel to Reel. It had an 8 Track player in the side!!! I bought Sonic Bookshelf speakers on Okinawa in 70 and put them in the back of my 73 VW Bug. (Incredible Sound)
US Army. 5th Mechanized Infantry in VN. 7th Infantry in Korea. Made it home, largely in one piece, in 1970. Waiting for me at home, besides my fiance, was my first stereo system which I bought on RR in Japan...I was pretty excited by both.
