Title: compliment from a stranger
Post by: zzaapp on September 21, 2007, 10:32:45 PM
Wife and I were standing in a food line at a local festival, and we struck up a conversation with a couple behind us.  The talk turned to military matters.  The guy was a Korea War vet.  I mentioned that I had spent some time running ammo up and down the gun line at Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin.  He said I looked too young to have been in Vietnam. 

I guess getting rid of the gray hair has some advantages...
