Thanks you for relaying that story! Vetnam vet here also, voluntered for Vietnam but they sent me to Thailand. Without God in my life I doubt I could make it every day. Through adversity he will comfort!

Wonderful story Tarzan, thank that Vet for this Vet. Seems there are a number of us that are Vets and have a deep and abiding relationship with God. A friend of mine has just told me that the new 1 Dollar coins being minted do not have "In God We Trust" on them. Anybody heard/seen/verify this? It is indefensible if it is true!

Yep saw one 2 days ago and you are correct. There is no "In God We Trust" on them! Sad times!!

Thanks for the thought inspiring story, I to am a Christain, and Vietnam Vet. I served in Vietnam 1970 and 1971 in the Central Highlands. I thank God for all our brave servicemen and women, who put themselves in harms way every day, to help keep us free.

The new US dollar coins do have "In God We Trust" on them. It is on the outer ring. Look on the edge.

I also served in Nam. Three times between 1966 and 1969.

Really! Thanks I'll have to look again! Sorry about the miss info.

If you do find one of the new dollars without "In God we Trust" on the edge it's a mint error. A very small amount of the first coins were not stamped and instantly became a collectors coin.

What a wonderful post for Veteran's Day weekend!! I'm pleased to see so many other vets on this site, makes my heart warm. (maybe it's just heartburn, you know our age and all.)

All joking aside, God Bless all who have served!! Past and present.

My father just passed away last October and was a WWII vet 2 purple hearts and silver star. My oldest brother served 2.5 tours as a pathfinder ranger, 3 hearts and 2 silver stars. I was the least of all. Just one tour in the whirley birds unscathed. Oh, almost forgot my second oldest brother, Navy served in country in the China Sea. Tough way to get your Vietnam service medal. I kid him all the time.

Well, time to get back to work from lunch...
