Damn Shame I am seeing this on a website a day late! I watch the news every morning with my coffee and not a word mentioned on the local news or a national news Network I watch. In any event I thank all who sacrificed their life or limb and thanks to all the grumpy old guys that are still with us.[emoji]128512[/emoji]...JJ

Sorry I missed this yesterday. Nothing but respect for our military members.

Let's not forget a lot of these men were forced to fight in this war (drafted) and we're villainized when they came home.

God bless all of you!

This is a sore subject with me. I was never enlisted in our US armed forces and it wasn't because I didn't try at the time I was 18. I do know my History and Know the Vietnam War was political over being fought for righteous reasons. Our young men and women who returned home from that conflict were treated so poorly, not only by civilians,our own government as well!  What a kick in the teeth for serving your country, drafted or not!

Flagging my post for telling the truth, still doesn't fix the problem, it just confirms that there is still problems that needs to be resolved.

Bigbore,

It's a shame it went down like that. I'm just glad things have at least changed on the public front.

It shouldn't have to come down to an act of atrocity like Pearl Harbor or  911, to rally Patriotism in our country. Don't anyone kid himself, there is more to the stories we all don't know for a reason.

Cuban Missile crisis was almost WWIII if that wasn't defused! They want us all to be sheep or should I say most believe what they tell you.

Thank you to all who endured the treatment over there, and back here at home.  You deserved better, and taught a nation to value and treasure those who serve.

I'm afraid I missed it too.

Saying thanks to all who served doesn't come close to compensating all the veterans who were treated so poorly upon their return. My country still refuses to acknowledge that there were Canadians serving.

One Canadian at least says THANK YOU!!

Amen Brother, you're not the only country not to be recognized for your participation into something you didn't start!  http://thevietnamwar.info/what-countries-involved-in-the-vietnam-war/

I better source the Facts, B4 I get into trouble on here, I know my History! 

My heart goes out to all those whose Blood ran Red for our Country, whether they had a choice or not to be in it!
