Thanks for posting that. I volunteered for a year of Saturday afternoons at the Reno Veterans Hospital back in 1976-1977 when I was testing the waters for a medical career. Met veterans from the Spanish American War through Vietnam. The Vietnam era veteran had been bumped while playing walrus with a pool stick at a pool hall. It went up into his brain. I'd say he was not any older than 30. This was in 1976-1977.


The Vietnam Memorial is something I still want to see even though I have no personal connection to any of the names on it.

Happy BD BuggyOne.
