I would like to give a big THANK YOU to you and all the other military vets (and civilian workers) who are working or have worked in mess halls through the years. I liked the food in the mess hall and being on separate rations because of my duty hours I can say the meals were very inexpensive.

Keeping the troops fed and keeping the dining facilities clean and sanitary is a lot of hard work and often goes unappreciated.
So thank you again for doing a great job!

Earned nothing! Not even a Good Conduct ribbon!

Well, I did qualify for the original GI Bill. That was something.

As was the Honorable Discharge.
