My father was an Army Medic and served in Vietnam during the 1968-1969 Tet Offensive. He served and returned to his country decorated with the Silver Star, Bronze Star with “V” Device, a Purple Heart, Two-Us Air Medals, Army Commendation Medal, Vietnam Campaign Ribbon, and a Combat Medic Badge. I am forever proud of his service. I will give back to those who have made it possible for me to remain free to pursue my own life, liberty, and happiness.
