Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary Edition

I am extremely proud of my Military service in the US Army. I was wondering if there was a way that we could list the Veterans, Past & Present, who belong to this organization and if there is a way to show that on our profiles for the rest of the club to recognize.

Thanks,

Jim, US Army 1964 - 1967

Jim, There are some who put their Military info in their signature for all to see every time they post. Due to health issues I was unable to serve in the Military. I love my country and couldn't be more proud of the men & women who serve, and feel you should be recognized in every way possible. Thanks Jim. TerryM

Hi Jim, I think that listing would be nice. For some reason it seems like being a Vietnam vet, after all this time, I still feel like a marked man. sucks!!! I'm not whining folks.

[/QUOTE] Bull crap Gene, you should be proud of your service. You Vietnam Vets are my hero's

I was too young to join the Army during that time but I did shortly after. I'm proud of the 23 yrs I did in the Army, but honestly don't miss it.

I think a listing or a "Special note" in peoples signature or avatar is a great idea.

Serving in the US Air Force was the best 24 years I had. Everyone who served should be proud. I also think having a speacial note is a good idea.

You guy's see how Paul (LukesVette) put his Veteran info in his signature. You should all do that so we can salute you for your service. my7T12008-04-15 19:45:54

It's great to see the response to this thread. It's probably in the wrong place as the only intrested parties are us mid-westerners. Should have put it in the general discussion area, I guess. Thanks guys for all you've done for this great country of ours and cudo's to you "lifers". You did something that after 2 years of somebody trying to kill me, I just couldn't muster the courage to do. I salute you.

Jim
