Green beret, Israeli Commando, couldn't go on the raid of Entebbe because they would not allow U.S. citizens. 5 year gap in his local history, his folks didn't know where he was. My sister the nurse says he had bullet scars. But later when he was dying of alcoholic induced brain cancer, she checked- the V.A. could find no record of him. 5 years in jail maybe, no service for sure?

His dad, Johnny, different story- landed at D-day in an anti tank battalion, with 700 vehicles. VE day, 3 were left. Bulge,& battle field commission.

My take- the guys that were really there don't brag. They don't feel the need. Like Johnny, or Uncle Bruno, USMC, Navy Cross, came home and farmed Christmas trees. I brag, not them.
