Vets driving 'Vettes
With Veterans Day fast approaching, I thought it might be interesting to see how many "veterans driving 'vettes" we have on the forum. I get the feeling we have many, with a wide spectrum of eras, experiences and deployments. So I guess I'll start it off with my own modest contribution, and vets, sound off!
U.S. Navy, 1972-76 enlisted aircrewman SH-3 Sea King helicopters,
two carrier-air wing deployments to the east coast of Africa/Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and South China Sea/Vietnam.
"All gave some, some gave all."
Drives: '18 C7 Z51, LBR, A8
