We loved our country enough to defend and protect it with our lives.
We said goodbye to friends, family, and everything we knew.

We had plenty of good times, and plenty of bad times.
We never got enough sleep. Some of us smoked and drank too much.
We picked up both good, and bad, habits.
We worked hard and we played harder.
We didn’t earn a great wage.
We experienced the happiness of mail call and the sadness of missing family events.
