I served in the Army as did almost all my cousins and uncles


My father did three tour in Vietnam, part of one as a POW


Two uncles died there and one grandfather died in Korea the other died in some long forgotten minor skirmish in Europe





The picture is a reminder of the sacrifices my family has willingly and lovingly made for our country





It makes me proud that our service helped to ensure that what happens in some communist dictatorship has nothing at all to do with life in the country that we swore to defend with our lives, an oath that some had to honor





We did not serve so that others would look at us in awe, but to ensure that they had the right to hold us in the highest disdain if that is what they wanted to do and to stick flowers in out barrels if that is what they wanted to do





And by the way


The treatment we received in those patriotic military towns was not all that great


Seems no one cares so much about the soldier unless the soldiers are dying somewhere for them


Maybe it's to cover up the fact that they themselves never took that oath

Well said Boker!





I had three older cousins that did tours in Vietnam, only two came home. My cousin Mike's flag and medals sit in a place of honor in my home, as he was an only child and his folks have passed. His sacrifice will be remembered at least until I'm gone.





The reception the other two got when they returned home, then at their college campuses, was nothing short of disgraceful. As a student of American history, I consider those days some of the darkest and most shameful in our 232 years.





Some people like to look on those days in the late 1960s with nostalgia. I see that time as the beginning of the end.

Reply:Ironic how a hippie can use his constitutional right protest the very man who secures that right.





In any communist country at that time in the world (and even now in most parts) the hippie would have been summarily executed after the daisy touched the muzzle.





Yeah David, they are lazy too. Find it the hard way.
