I'm reminded by a friend of 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 2: mine in Canada that the equivalent of Veterans Day occurs 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: in Canada. It's called Remembrance Day. So, unless I'm misunderstanding that, 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: I would invite all of my listeners, whether you happen 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: to be here in the States or north of the border, 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: or anywhere around the world, I'd like you to reach 11 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: out and mention a loved one or a friend who 12 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: served in any capacity during any time, anyone who put 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: the uniform on and spent eight period of time. It 14 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: could have been in a horrific combat situation, which you know, 15 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 2: very few of us have ever had to find ourselves 16 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: in those sorts of military activities. But there's you know, 17 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: I'll do a shout out to Joe. He said he 18 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: served four years one of our calls last hour in 19 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 2: the Air Force. I guess he was a police officer 20 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: in the Air Force. Again, those of you who have 21 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: parents or relatives, my dad served two and a half years. 22 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,279 Speaker 2: Actually you know, he was in for over three years, 23 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: but two and a half years during World War Two 24 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: in China Burman, India. I told you that before. I 25 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: remember as a small boy, a little child, hearing my 26 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 2: father at night in another you know, in another room, 27 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: in the middle of the night, screaming in horror. Never 28 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: talked to about what he had seen, what he had experienced, 29 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: but obviously those experiences in the China Berman India theater. 30 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: I remembered him talking about the general that he served under, 31 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: Joe Stillwell. That name was mentioned frequently. Didn't tell war stories, 32 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: but kept in contact with his with his colleagues, the 33 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: men with which he served, and they were from all 34 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: over the country. Remember there was a fellow, Paul Butler, 35 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: from from Kentucky. There was a fellow's last name was 36 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: Hitchcock from Wyoming. Those were people that I got to 37 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: know through him. They would write longhand Christmas cards every year, 38 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: every year, and those my dad would write probably I 39 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 2: don't know, eight or ten Christmas cards. And as time 40 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: went on and as people passed on, the Christmas card 41 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: list dwindled, but they kept in contact and they were 42 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: World War He was a World War Two veteran obviously 43 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: in China, Burman, India.

He actually served 82 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: in Vietnam in nineteen sixty nine. He was a flame thrower. 83 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: He worked with the flamethrowers. This man is just incredible 84 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: little history. He's from Elko, Nevada. He grew up on 85 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 3: a railroad, hundred Nate elementary schools moved every two weeks. 86 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: And this man was just so excited to go serve 87 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 3: in Vietnam.

And I ended up 90 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: meeting him a few years ago because he wrote a 91 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 3: book for healing from his PTSD, and so it came 92 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 3: from poetry, and it's actually called Viet Saying in Vietnam 93 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: War Combat Poetry by Specialist fifth Class Nelson John Herron. 94 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: He's got amazing reviews. This guy is just incredible, and 95 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 3: so he wrote this book of poetry.

And he 242 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 7: was ninety eight and a half and he finally fell 243 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 7: one too many times and he died in February. Now 244 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 7: why it was February and now we're in November, I'm 245 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 7: not sure. But he was the youngest of my uncles 246 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 7: and he was shot. He left high school early and 247 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 7: wanted to go to fight at age seventeen, so they 248 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 7: and he got shot and then never was able to 249 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 7: use his left arm for the rest of his life. 250 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: And I must have been born, Karen, hold on for 251 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: a second. He must have been born if he died 252 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: at the age of ninety eight and a half. I'm 253 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: assuming he's. 254 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 7: Born in nineteen twenty six. 255 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, so at the age of seventeen. He 256 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: would have been seventeen in nineteen forty three during the 257 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: middle of World War Two, so he volunteered. 258 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 7: As he volunteered and then he went into the service. 259 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 7: So my grandma had four brothers won my dad, and 260 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 7: he's the youngest.
