I served, but nothing spectacular, never really in harms way, deployed,
Navy Expeditionary Medal ,did my time during the original cold war, tracked Russian Subs and had a few "interactions" with Russian Ships and planes.
USN 1980-1986
I come from a family full of veterans and service members. Marines, Navy, Army and Air Force.
A big thank you to all the Veterans out there and on the board.
We do these threads every year, I would like to dig a bit deeper.
To all the vets on here, How many have combat experience?
How many of you have Purple hearts?
Are there any exemplary service type recipients on the board?
Medal of Honor, distinguished service cross, Silver Stars etc.
Just curious and, if some of you would rather keep that stuff secret, please forgive my intrusion.
