    '53 to '61 in the U.S.iconArmy Reserve, which is to say, after Korea and before Vietnam.

I never went overseas.

    55-58 Regular army, AAA 90mm guns. Too late for Korea and too early for vietnam. We wern't mad at anybody. Of course we didn't know if the russians were going to come through the Fulda Gap, and I would have found myself in their way. Oh yeah 25 years in the ANG.
