Military Veteran

The gentleman behind me wore a cap bearing the words 'Vietnam Veteran'.

I suggested he take my place in line, and I would go behind him.

Eventually, and somewhat reluctantly, he agreed and we talked.

He lost his community college student deferment in 1968, and drafted into the Army. His service was in 1969 and 1970.

It was an interesting conversation, and a good way to begin my day.
