God Bless You for your kind words, your service and your honesty & understanding!   My eyes are filled with tears...Grateful tears!  May God Bless you and your family on your journey through the rest of your blessed lives! You're 100% right about our Vietnam Vets!   I never realized how deeply it cut and how much it hurt the Vietnam Vets till my brothers took the time to share their experiences with me, and that was recently. Thank you for sharing that awareness with our group here...I hope that everyone who reads your comments takes them to heart!  Memorial Day is but one of 365 opportunities every year to reach out to those who have risked their lives for us and show them how grateful we are for their Service!
