Veterans Day Recognition

[EJS2016]

For many people, Sundays are a time for reflection and remembrance.

So before we begin our busy week, and Friday, November 11th is upon us, I want acknowledge and thank all of our retired, active-duty and prior service forum members with this Veterans Days Recognition thread.

It would be great if vets could provide their branch of service, specialty, unit, base, service dates and rank.

Please provide any other details as desired.

I'll go first:
United States Air Force Reserve, Nurse Corps
46N3, Clinical Nurse
514th Aeromedical Staging Squadron
514th Air Mobility Wing, McGuire AFB, NJ
1994-1997

United States Air Force, Nurse Corps

Multiple 59 MDW Medical Squadrons
59th Medical Wing, Lackland AFB, TX
1998-2002
Separated as a Captain

Lost my cookies in a C130 during a "tactical landing" at Keesler AFB.
Stop/Loss service extension for 6 months after 9/11.
Never in harm's way.

Thanks for reading.

I appreciate your service. I was not in the military. I had immediate family that served in world wars one and two and Vietnam. Every once in a while they would share a story or two about things that were seen and done in war. It's a bit chilling when a few hours in an airplane gets a person from a peaceful existence at home to the hell of war.
