    I had a draft number of 72 back in 1970. I joined the Air Force in 1971 for the benefits. I served in the Air Force from 1971 to 1975. I got a job at the VA Medical Center shortly after getting out of the Air Force. I worked different jobs at VA Medical Center working in Building Maintenance, Ward Clerk, Pharmacy Tech and finally going back to school where I received my Master degree in Social Work. I worked at the VA Medical Center retiring after 37 years of service. I used my G.I. bill for school and to purchase my first home. Proud to have served my country.
