Who has served our country in the armed forces?

[TS Drag Racer]

I've served on US Carl Vinson, United States Navy. Launced air craft off the flight deck in first gulf war, an experience I wouldn't trade for anything. Anyone else that has served, thank you for your service. It's people like you that make this country great!

Never served in the airforce or army but I was in the cadet program for 6-7 years. Right now I'm having thoughts about going back and inlisting for medic or to work in a overseas hospital for the canadian military.

Have 3 friends serving in Shilo MB and are just finishing their training up.
