I served in the U.S. Navy and am a Vietnam veteran.

Anyone else have trouble reconciling these two statements?

LOL!

A friend of mine still carries the burn scars he got on the Forrestall.
Are you going to tell me he isn't a Vietnam veteran?

There's an A-7 from the Forrestall at Tillamook Air Museum.

Perhaps you missed my "Uh oh...here comes the Corpsman!" part. (Corpsmen
were Navy medical personnel attached with Marine units, so it follows that
if I say "Here comes the Corpsman" the idea a soldier can be Navy and
Vietnam vet is rather implied.)

Not to mention Skyhawk driver and ex-POW John McCain.
