**Thank you to our veteran's who were gracious enough to be interviewed during our annual veteran's breakfast. We appreciate your service! Anthony enlisted in the Air Force because he just wanted to make his country proud and honor the United States. He was twenty years old when he started. He said, “I was scared because you are risking your life." Anthony served in the Vietnam War. He arrived in 1964 and left in 1965. He does not remember any times of having fun because "you were fighting for your life." To stay in contact with his loved ones he would write letters back and forth through the war. The food was edible to which he said: “[It was]...enough to take care of yourself.” When the war was fully over he said he was relieved and was happy to go back to his family. But now he is a 76 year old, proud veteran in Pittsburgh. Thank you, Anthony Weisser for proudly serving our country!
