getting inducted. Rated 4-F-A1 or something. Vietnam War ended before I could be called up a second time. So here I am, looking for new chips instead of an engraving on a big wall in Washington.

So instead, on Veterans Day I celebrate the memory of my Grand-Uncle Leo Krisshaven, who rose to the rank of Captain (highest rank available to a Jew) in World War I. Even though he fought for the Central Powers. Hey, you can't pick the right team all the time!
