Any of you birds come thru Louisville KY give me a call, gotta a small track we can ride and tell stories... and yes, I'm proud to be a vet wasn't popular then, at least today's soilder receives the respect he/she deserves.

millitary vets

A little trivia---only military vets can spell military that way. It's an inside thing, man. Kind of an identification moniker thing. :)
