When I tell people that I received a letter from the President when I was barely 19 years old, they usually have a skeptical look..... I believe it read something like...."Greetings from the President, your friends and neighbors have selected you".........
Oh yeah there wasn't any smiley faces at the bottom either..

THANKS EVERYONE for their service!!!
I ALMOST got one of them too, but I went ahead and joined the Navy before Unc could get it to me...
Holy cow Walt, you got out when I was goin into freshman year!!
Tim, you also beat me by a year,,,,,I went in in 67. I got an all expenses paid vacation to East Asia. I sometimes wonder......
Then when I got out, I started on the Fire Dept and never looked back. I just love helping people!!
