10th Anniversary Diversity – Learning About the Unique Paths We Took

     It hardly seems possible that 10 years have passed since the DaysForward emerged. I think the aspect I appreciate most is hearing the many diverse stories of what my classmates have done since graduation. While a good number of 69’ers served together in various assignments, I had a very limited experience working with classmates after graduation. That is why their stories are so interesting and show the many ways and paths that they have enjoyed since graduation, to include activities in civilian life.

     I was particularly impressed with the stories that dealt with assignments in Vietnam, since that conflict was the subject of much focus during our years at the Academy. With nearly 63% of our class having tours in Vietnam, our combat experiences were numerous. I’m sure what we took away from the war impacted the rest of our lives.

     I also found stories that were humorous in nature to be most enjoyable.

The job that the team at TheDaysForward has done is not only incredible but extremely magnificent. Keep up the great work.
