Veterans, Just Curious

[Tony's Pens]

I am curious how many military Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, Retired or Disabled Vets are members of IAP. I am a disabled Vet and served in the USAF between 1981 -1985 Rank E-4. I fell off of an A-10 Jet Plane after an Ice Storm.

I want to personally thank all Active Military and Veterans for all they do and all they have done and the sacrifices they and their families have made for this great country. Military personnel is what keeps this country "Free".

If you were in the military or presently in the Military will you please give a brief description of what branch, date served and you present Status and Rank if you feel comfortable listing it. This is so we all can Thank You for your service. :usflag:


Thanks
Tony

Wow what great response we are getting in just a few hours. I guess I should have also ask that If you were in service in another allied country please also leave a post.

Keep it up folks.

Believe it or not the A-10 I fell off of during the Ice Storm was in Central Louisiana. Safety was not on the top of the list when they ask us to climb on top of the A-10 Wing and sweep the ice off. Spent 7 days in the hospital and wound up having 3 back surgeries and a leg surgery.

I am curious how many military Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard Retire or Disabled Vets are members of IAP. I am a disabled Vet and served in the USAF between 1981 -1985 Rank E-4. I fell off of an A-10 Jet Plane after an Ice Storm.
