For what it's worth, the Tet Offensive began on January 30, 1968 right after Arm Forces Radio replayed Gen Westmoreland's speech to Congress.

Congrats to another North Carolina jackpot winner!

He was born in 1949. He would have been 20 years old when the Tet Offensive was launched in South Vietnam. He could have joined the military when he was 18 and been in that battle.

I am happy that he is alive and celebrating each and every day.

Congratulation to Ernest Dodson on his Win. I like his comment about being debt free. I LOL when he said he is getting a bigger TV to watch his favorite wrestling matches. This was a good story Todd. Mr Dodson is going to be talking about this Veteran Day for a while.

Nice payoff for a 5/43 game!

I'm also going to get a bigger TV so I can watch my favorite wrestling matches,

Between the WWE Network and Youtube, he can watch wrestling 24/7 for years.

And great story

A 70-year-old Army veteran found himself counting cash on Veterans Day, after he won more than a quarter of a million dollars in the North Carolina Education Lottery.

Ernest Dodson bought the Cash 5 ticket at Sons of Nie, an Asian market in Greensboro, and realized the next morning that it was worth $276,688, lottery officials announced on Veterans Day.

I about fell over, Dodson said in the release. I'm tickled to death that I can be debt free.
