Springfield, OR

You are welcome, it truely was my honor to serve

Fred Chamberlin - Eugene/Springfield's #1 Experienced FHA Mortgage Consultant: Loan Officer in Eugene, OR
Yesterday was Veteran’s Day and a number of people thanked me for my service and that made me feel very special. I was in the U. S. Air Force from 1966 to 1978 and spent time on Guam during operation ARC LIGHT and BULLET SHOT during my first enlistment, on temporary duty with the 4133 Bomb Wing (Provisional). The wing was flying sorties from Guam with B-52s over Vietnam. No, I wasn’t an air crew member, I flew a typewriter and a camera. I was editor of the base newspaper. 4133 I was back on Guam on permanent (well as permanent as the military gets) assignment in 1973 and helped with the processing of refugees when Saigon fell in 1975. We took in 121,000 refugees in a 10 day period as people fled from Vietnam in almost anything that would fly. The first ones came off of the commercial airliners with so much gold they could hardly walk. The last ones were stuffed so tightly into C-130s that they couldn’t sit down. Later, the boat people started arriving. It was a heart wrenching thing to watch as people fled their homes to keep from being killed. During those years, when I traveled, I didn’t do it in uniform, there was too much chance of being spit upon or derided. The military was the target for protesters and demonstrations. It wasn’t until much later that we were finally accepted for who we were and not what was being done. That is why I am so pleased that there are people today working to make sure the members of our armed forces are recognized and praised for what they are doing. The following clip was forwarded through Facebook by one of my friends. I hope you will take the time to watch the whole thing.
There are a number of very good videos out that say the same thing and I want to thank the people that have taken the time to do this for our military. There are a number of people from my era that are still suffering and maybe, just maybe, this will help them too. It is hard to come back to your home and have people turn their back on you. I don’t want that to happen to our military today. So in response to those yesterday, I just want to say: You are welcome, it really was my honor to serve.
