INGO Vets

[buzz815]

Since Veterans day is fast approaching it would be interesting to know how many INGO members are veterans. Please list your branch of service, the years you were in and any decorations you were awarded. One last question, do you own or shoot a firearm that is similar to the one you were issued in the military?
