Where has the time gone?

Dear Readers,

Forty-five years ago today, January 10, 1967, I raised my right hand and became a member of The United States Army.

Here is the oath I swore to our country:

I, James Hickerson, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

So help me God.

When I think back to that long-ago time forty-five years ago, it almost seems like yesterday.  But when I think of all that's transpired since then, it's like I've lived
several wonderful lives one after another.

Would that everyone could be blessed as I have been.

I've said it many times before and now I'll say it again...

I'd do it all over in a heartbeat!
