Low draft #...Joined the NAVY, 69-73..Not near the tall grass(very lucky)..Got out a little early when Dad died......Don't even like it when people thank me for my service because I just did what i needed to do at the time.

Hey Doc.  The Marines heros... I mean that sincerely!  I hit the beaches of Chu Lai in May, 1965.

Had a high draft number in 73 and then had student deferments. Later (78), when I tried to enlist, I was deemed medically ineligible due to bee sting allergies.

Don’t know if I am allowed to write in this topic sense I am neither military service men or American, and was to young during VN, so if not delete it.

Despite not done service I have been dealing with many war vets from later wars under my 15+ year in the Red Cross Trauma team were I have tried my best to help vets with different grade of PTSD back to feeling as good as they can, and I have work with hundreds over the years.

Even victims for war crimes like POW.s who suffered torture has been in my care, so I hope I have done some good and I feel the outmost respect for all how done service.

Yes, God bless you for helping. It is a very important part of war that most never realize or hear about.  I was very fortunate in my tour.   But I know many that were not.  I did not realize it before but today is Vietnam Veterans day.  So thank you and God bless all that server voluntarily as I did but even more so to those that were drafted but went anyway without complaint and served well!  That had to be hard.
