Remembering the young men who served in Vietnam

As another Independence Day approaches with our servicemen and women still in Iraq and Afghanistan, memories of the Vietnam War era and my small part in it flood back.

Welcome home, bros!!!!!!!!

We were generally shunned when returning and our peers who never left CONUS too-often either despised or ignored us.

I believe many of us had trouble fitting back into society and at least some of us never did quite merge all the way back in but.... for some that may have been a good thing.

I believe that the current round of returning troops will get a little more recognition but I find it sad that so many will be competing with an estimated 20 MILLION illega aliens for jobs, housing, etc. That just isn't right.

Anyway.... stand tall and proud. It's never easy fighting an unpopular war despite it being labeled a "Conflict."

Oh when will we, America's warriors, have leadership worthy of those sent overseas?
