25. In 1969
when I was 19, 1-A and my number in the draft lottery was 98 he told me if I went into the Army he would kick my ass every step of the way from home to the induction center-45 miles. He spent 12 years in the Army before he got out and while I knew he was in Korea he never talked about it except once to say it was as screwed up as Nam but at 40 below zero. After I got out of the Air Farce and him and my mom had divorced I found his Bronze Star in a box of stuff at home.
