Celt-guy---The difference between how the vets are treated now;
compared to then;shows how things are looked at as times change.When I was discharged;I went to work at Sikorsky Aircraft
(1965)One morning I went in to work and the entrance road was
blocked;by people against the war?;and I had a family to feed.
They didn't want us to build"War Machines."I had a firebird(muscle
car)that was built-up for racing.I;just; stopped in the road,tacked
up about 6500RPM and dumped the clutch.Believe me;they moved
I wasn't;exactly;in favor of what we were doing there but as far as ;I was concerned;it was my patriotic duty and I had to give
people something to spit at;when I came home! Irish
PS.Better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!
