[George Lewis]

USAF 1952-1981. 85% good, 15% bad. I did not like the remote tours. While enlisted, I was an airborne radio operator on a cargo plane. Got to see a lot of our world. Then they sent me to college and gave me a commission. Later paid for my Master's degree which really helped me get my job with Sony Corp. after retirement. (14 years)

Glad you found us

My time in was not nearly as illustrious as most of what I've seen here, but I was with the 82nd Airborne, 1959-1962. One of the rare periods of no war that the country has seen in many decades. Did 24 days at the tail end of the extension because of the Berlin crisis, where we 'chuted up, drew five bandoliers of live ammo and loaded onto C-130's at Pope AFB with the props turning for about an hour until JFK decided he didn't want to go to WWIII with the Soviets. Spent the next two years 341 days sweating my subject-to-recall status while Viet Nam heated up. A salute to all of you who walked the walk - mostly longer and way more difficult than my little stroll.

As an Army wife, I remember those late-night calls to the Green Ramp at Pope; scared out of my wits most of the time. Hubby commanded the Recondo Raider School of the 82nd from 70 - 72, and we went back in 78 for Language School. Fort Bragg is still one of my favorite posts. Thanks for serving!

[ttriker]

US Army 68-75. It's definitely a lot better to see how they treat the Vet now as to when I was in. Back then you didn't want to wear a uniform through the airport, but I think the hair gave it away. Gotta love those white walls....and I ain't talking tires..A greatful thanks to all of us that served...

[Will]
