My name is John and I am an old Air Force Retiree.  I enlisted in the Air Force in 1960 and in 1962 I was involved in a car accident just outside Rapid City, South Dakota.  As a result my right leg had to be amputated below the knee.  I had just over 2 years active service at the time and was married with a young daughter(4days).  I spent 3 months in the Ellsworth AFB, SD and was transferred to Wilford Hall Hospital in San Antonio, TX.  I was fitted with a artifical leg spent 2 weeks learning how to walk on it.  I was then sent home on leave for 2 weeks  and returned to active duty.  I spent the next 18 years on active duty and retired as a MSgt(E7) in 1980.  My career included a tour in Viet Nam(1970-71)

 I never met anyone while on active duty that also had a artifical limb.  I am wondering if anyone out there served on active duty with an artifical lib during that time period (1960 - 1980).
