VETERANS DAY [View all]

[clydefrand]

I'm not sure why, but I served in a special group in the ASA (Army Security Agency) back in the 1950's.
Because of my job, I was guaranteed to never be closer than 50 miles from any enemy attack. OK, so I did my job, quite good at it to,
and I was stationed in Tokyo, Japan. Could never let anyone know what I did, etc.. Wore civies ever where so no one would know what group we were with. (amazing, we were the only ones in Japan that was allowed to wear civies off base. You reckon anyone figured that out?)
Still, though I volunteered, I don't feel any kindred with those in actual combat.

So, should I feel like a proud veteran?

I'm not sure I feel any better or worse han the combat troop?
Your opinion please.
('m 80, still in good health.)
