My Grandpa used to say he ate that a lot in WWII. I picked that up, but 
am to young for those wars.  Vietnam was my Father's war.  I had too 
many health problems for signing up for the armed forces, I checked with 
the recruiters.  I suppose I would've been in for the Gulf War as the 
most notable I was able to go in, not that I was actually planning to, I 
was just curious if it was even possible.
