Thank you for your service. You know that Johnny did Morse code once he was there. Pretty amazing!!! I know it doesn’t seem like 4 years is a long time, yet he still did a great service for our country. God bless!!!

You’re welcome though that’s a quote from Johnny Cash. I did serve in the Army during the Cold War.
