and have never joined or participated in any veterans outfits ever since....

Likewise, I've never participated in veterans groups. I did that, it's past. This is now, try to move on.

Yep, same here. I was briefly in the American Legion, but drifted away. Lots of looking back instead of forward. A friend wanted me to join Vietnam Vets as they were accepting all Vietnam Era veterans at the time. I declined for two reasons. One I was never in country and two, the old looking back instead of froward. After 22 years in law enforcement, including being a homicide investigator, I had enough horrors to remember of my own, I did not need others.

Agree, even though a Life Member of the VFW, I've only been to one of their posts once. But I do try and make the yearly Memorial on Coronado my old unit does to honor those we lost in Vietnam.

Dave,
I wrote names on the back of pictures to remember who our guys were. Being only 16 men and replacements it wasn't too hard.

Likewise I attend our Remembrance day...some shape of another. But, incognito, no medals. Just an old guy. Then over to my past unit remembrance close by the downtown service...
