Curt Bradley Bradley '64 Yes Yes USMC 10/68 - 8/71 1st Lieutenant I value my military service highly, both for what I was able to contribute and for its contribution to me, which<br />

was significant. I am struck <strong>by</strong> a major difference between the military of my era - Vietnam - and today.<br />

During the 60s and 70s, there was wide spread participation in the military effort from across our society,<br />

albeit sometimes with reservations. Today a fraction of 1% of society is involved in military service while most<br />

of the rest of us go about our lives largely oblivious to the military's contribution. In hindsight that contribution<br />

is demonstrably more important today than it was during Vietnam. Our apathy is unfortunate, and I do not<br />

profess to know how to change it. The very least we can do is respect proactively the men and women who<br />

serve in our military and never take them for granted.<br />
