My father served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War between 1967 and 1971. He was Sgt Edward L. Underwood Jr. He wasn't on the ground too often, but he did help through air, flying planes through north Vietnam in battle. I hope to be in the Marines myself, because I feel honored to be a relative of a Marine veteran that served during one, if not the worst, war in our history as a nation and the world. Ed did an excellent job in the 4 years he was there. He tells me and my mom proudly about what it was like, and he is 62 now. I hope other offspring are inspired by their parents. Semper fi.
