I did not serve, but I have had many in my family who did. My dad (who served) talked me out of it after high school. Being a father now, I know he had his reasons.
I can honestly say that I wish that I had, looking back on it.

I never pass up the chance to shake the hand of a serviceman when I see them out and about in uniform.

Thanks to everyone else that has served and is serving!
 
Wish I would have, can't leave my kid and wife now....

I did take some mil training and it was pretty brutal
 
2009 - to present. It feels to me like i am in a whole different category when i see things like other marines and soldiers and sailors posting that they were in in the 70'2 and 80's. my step dad was in the army in (approximately) 1971 to ? and spent a tour in vietnam. i dont feel like myself or service members of my generation really compare the those before us. its because of the gentleman posted above myself ^^^ and others like them that i even have the opportunity to serve my country today. god bless us, our families, everybody we serve to protect, and every fair and honest individual that sleeps under the colors of this country everynight. and god bless the fallen of past and present, as well as those to come. i never felt what memorial day was about until this year. - Lance.
