Thanks to all who served and thanks for the list. It's not often you can thank
those who fought directly. Great job on the list.

Subject: ROLL CALL! (aka Veteran's Poll)
Here it is. Please note that I have done this in alphabetical order by
e-mail address, and that I've just been roughly transcribing what people
had to say about their service. If there's a pecking order, you'll have to
decide it for yourself after reading. I've also included a couple of
potential future veterans, I hope the list's interest in others' ambitions
will outweigh the fact that they're not yet veterans.(Give 'em a break,
they're trying!). I've shortened a few peoples' submissions just a little,
as they were pretty lengthy, but left out no wartime service info. But
anyway, this is it...if you're late or if I missed you, or if any data is
incorrect, sound off and I'll correct it. Happy Veteran's Day.
