Happy Veterans Day Dad

Some scanned slides from his tour in Vietnam.

One of the most popular United States Public Holidays is the Veterans Day. Celebrated on the 11th of November every year, Veterans Day marks the honoring of Military veterans who have served their nation through the United States Armed Forces http://veteransdayguide.com
