Just a quick note to mention that we appreciate ALL veterans! My husband spent 12 years in the USNavy's submarine service BUT he served during peace-time so doesn't not seem to qualify for any benefits or appreciation (unless we were completely destitute). It wasn't HIS fault we weren't at war. All those guys were ready to do battle or go to war - should it have been necessary - but we were all blessed with no outward conflict. He is just as much a veteran as any who have served more recently or those from Korea or Vietnam. Hail to ALL!
