I apologize if this was posted elsewhere. I found it on facebook, and enjoyed hearing one veteran's story. Thank you for the great example you set for our generation today Capt. Yellin.

What a GREAT video, SGT (Join to see)! He said, "The highlight of my life was serving my country." Would that we all felt that way. And if I could be half as sharp as this man at that age ... Well, let's just say that he is one sharp cookie for a 91-year-old man. Thanks for sharing this story and video about this great man.

No problem, CW5 (Join to see)! I love listening to vets from that era and Vietnam tell their stories. Night and day difference to what I and others encountered. Not better, worse, anything, just different. Great part of US Military history.

Do we know if Captain Yellin is a fellow member of RP? He lives in the next town over and my civilian workplace (a newspaper) is doing daily profiles on veterans for November. Either way, thanks for posting this.
