Hello Roy, My name is Jeffrey not Jeri. I can empathize with the situation that many veterans may be in as my father is a Vietnam Vet and my brother is active military and has served in Korea, Afganistan and lately Iraq. But, this is a genealogy mailing list and as such should have messages posted to it that have something to do with genealogy. It doesn't matter what the reason for your post is, it does not belong here - just as any other non-genealogy topics do not. Your post does not belong here any more than the search for extraterrestrial intelligence would. Please go to groups.yahoo.com and you will find a group that will meet the needs for this concern, or, if you can't find one, you can even create your own!! But, please stick to genealogy here. Cheers, Jeffrey Chace http://www.chace.demon.nl
