Every November, our class website http://altonhigh65.com honors the more than one-third of our Alton High '65 classmates (200+ of 600+) who served in the military. Of the many who served in Vietnam, seven died there, and many others later suffered and/or died from PTSD or Agent Orange problems.

No matter where you served, thank you for your service!

Share one or all of the following via Message Forum or email to marionrd@aol.com :

1. Your picture in uniform.

2. A very brief description of your service for our veterans list of all who served.

3. Longer comments for the uniform picture section.
