Happy Memorial Day to all our AF members who served in the armed forces.
I'd also like to give a shout-out to my father who served (luckily for me, stateside) in '66-'68. But I especially want to acknowledge my uncle, Mike McDermott, who went through hell on earth in Vietnam during four tours (recipient of two Distinguished Service Crosses: http://valor.militarytimes.com/recipient...entid=5897) and who lived to tell the harrowing tale of his last tour in which he served as an adviser to a South Vietnamese paratrooper outfit that fought and died in the battle of An Loc (https://www.amazon.com/Mike-McDermott/e/B005MRPDGW/). I also wish to honor my brother Brian McDermott's service (tour in Bosnia, tour in Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division during which he fought at Tora Bora, and two tours in Iraq with the Stryker Division out of Fort Wainwright).
