KICKER: THANKING A SINGULAR MILITARY VETERAN
JIM/ANCHOR: We end this week's report by looking a holiday that is observed
every November in the US. It was originally known as Armistice Day. So what
does this have to do with amateur radio? Randy Sly, W4XJ, will tell us now.
RANDY: In the United States, November 11th is Veterans Day, a day honoring
the men and women who have served in the U.S. armed forces. The annual
holiday is marked on the anniversary of the end of World War I. On that
day, one man likes to honor amateur radio for its service as well. Eligible
for the draft in late 1960s, he chose to enlist in the Navy. When asked if
he had any experience, he mentioned he had been a ham radio operator since
his freshman year in high school. The recruiter's eyes lit up: He shared
that his amateur radio license would allow him to enlist at a higher rank
and enter active duty as a third class petty officer without needing to
attend Radioman A school.
During his time on active duty, that man's ham radio experience paid off,
helping him become a leader in the communications mission of his destroyer.
In addition to using his technical expertise, he was the only one in radio
central that could also send and receive traffic using Morse Code during
training exercises.
That man, and many others like him who have served their country, received
their training simply by being hams. So thank you, amateur radio, for your
service. By the way, that man was me.
This is Randy Sly, W4XJ.
JIM/ANCHOR: And, thank you for YOUR service, Randy!
