My service included: joining the 5th Corps Arty in Germany that was confronting the Communist Russians who were on an aggressive path in Europe with major saber-rattling, building the Berlin Wall, massing 2-million troops and 50,000 tanks along the West-German border, murdered our president, and installed nuclear missiles in Cuba!
