I got out 37 years ago, and because of a storage fire the only things I have left from those days are my dog tags, a few photos, and (thankfully) my DD-214.
I have the dog tags of a maternal great-great-great uncle who served in WWI. My mom has all the medals and service bars from my dad. Not sure what else she kept. He passed away in 2014. He served 23 yrs. Starting in Germany just after WWII (1948). He served in Vietnam for a year. Retired in 1973.

When you see a vet selling poppies, please give a couple of dollars.
Don’t by pass up the opportunity.

After 43 years, the only thing I have left is a pair of pants and they still fit.

Boots still work. Haul out the medals on Memorial Day and get drunk. Vietnam to the ’Stan.

Back in the late ‘80s I had a neighbor who still wore his WW1 dress uniform to march in the local Memorial Day & Veterans’ Day parades.
