USAF Veteran 1965-1969

I had the honor of being included on the trip to Washington DC sponsored by the US Army Recruiting.

On that trip, we got to spend a day at the Pentagon including seeing the "Ground Zero" coffee and snack concession.

And the official Pentagon briefing room in the area where all the Pentagon national news reporters have offices.

Lots of briefings thankfully short and informative.
