    NOTE:  Male Vietnam-era veterans are men who served in the Armed Forces between August 5, 1964 and May 7, 1975. Nonveterans are
 men who have never served in the Armed Forces.  Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will not sum to totals
 because data for the "other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population
 groups.
