Plum..... Thanks for publishing this list. And my gratitude to you ALL listed here and your families, for all the sacrifices made for our beloved nation. I want to emphatically point out that the families of our Veterans have had to bear the weight of the unknown each day a serviceperson is away from home, and it is only with their love and support that our servicepeople are able to carry out their assigned missions.
I gratefully thank you all. nutz

Nutz meant 20 years,he's only good at fishing,not math😂😂
I have a question for pilots. I was crew chief on the F-104 Starfighter, which carried the 20mm Vulcan gatling gun. At the boresight range when that thing fired, it was the voice of doomsday! Even with earplugs and earmuffs together, your senses are so overloaded that while it's firing, nothing else exists. The A-10 Warthog sports an even more formidable gun, at 30mm. What I'd like to know, is how noisy is it in the cockpit when that sucker goes off? Do pilots who've used fuselage-mounted guns suffer hearing damage? If so, they're eligible for lifelong benefits. From working around the jets, I've got a dandy case of tinnitus, and the VA sends me a check every month.

Be careful good buddy. You totally deserve any compensation from it. Thank you for keeping us safe. My son already has it. I have it.
I say be careful because some say nobody deserve any disability unless they were in Combat which I highly disagree with. Serving is serving. It takes a whole bunch of doing before during and after wars to be
AT READY.
Cool sir. Can I call you CHIEF?

As my Dad used to say, "You can call me anything, but don't call me late for dinner!"
