My education was a flat zero. I have a GED that I acquired while serving with the armed forces. I attended local colleges when I wasnt on duty. Then I was hurt and could no longer serve. I returned to school, and I got a job at Grumman Corporation. While there, I was assigned to work as an engineering draftsman on all the aircraft they manufactured for the navy. I am proud to say that I, along with approximately 375,000 or more, worked on the LEM (Luna Excursion Module) that landed a man on the moon and returned him safely to earth.
I was married, I had two kids, a boy and a girl. What G-d gives, he takes away for reasons that may become known to me one day. My wife was taken, as were my brothers. I was left with two sisters; one is a nurse, and they both look after me. I have some cousins and nieces and nephews. I am not alone in the world, and most of all I have my fellow vets and their stories to make the days come and go.
I have some medals but I am far from a hero. I am told that twenty-two vets take their lives everyday. The question is why? I dedicate this book to all my fellow veterans.view less
