Re: Hello everyone; Don McHenry here...

Not sure, We can very well have some older gentlemen as members besides you. Hard to tell though for me at the moment as I'm stuffed with a dose of paraflex at the moment (whiplash injury).

Re: Hello everyone; Don McHenry here...

Welcome, Colonel! Good to have a veteran join the crowd!

As it turns out, I just received a book about Korea in the mail today. I did the map, so it got signed, too! I should have another, soon, as I did the editing and a map for that one, too. Interesting how Korean vets suddenly pop up! And just as we discuss opening up sub-fora for other conflicts!

Sir, may we ask what outfits you served with?

Re: Hello everyone; Don McHenry here...

Welcome to the site Colonel. I did set up a "Veterans" forum here but alas it hasn't attracted much (read "any") activity thus far.

I hope you will consider posting something down there. As you're well aware, you are a member of a vanishing group of men and women who served in that era and we are anxious to preserve some of their personal history first hand.

Welcome to the site!
