Folks,

I couldn't help but notice that most of the respondents served the varied Armed Forces about the same time, which indicates a strong possibility that we all served in 'Nam. If nobody has ever said it before, "Welcome Home!".

Those are two words that were never said enough back then. Thank you

Terrible times, at least in the Bay Area, CA. Even reading them now stir up emotions from years past.

Never forget.

Thought is was worth the crime.

there is another reason to remember and be proud,,the 'Canteen' who served 6 million men and women going off to war,, 10 minutes to fame.

I notice there are a lot of old guys. I guess the kids don't really work on cars now a days - especially old cars.

I'd just like to say since the vets are talking - I did one year in Viet Nam - actually 12 months and 28 days but who's counting. Once I got home I knew that was it I did my time. I have the utmost respect for those in the military who go over 2 or 3 times. That's asking a lot. Viet Nam was the "unpopular" war and many did come home to negative comments. I'm not sure the war we're in right now is very popular but at least the citizens don't take it out on those serving. I am proud of all the vets, from all the wars who were willing to sacrifice.

Didn't mean to go on and on.

I've never been able to figure out why all the mistreatment of returning viet nam vets.....after all, most from that era were drafted, they had no choice how and where the military would utilize them...just the opposite today.

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day...we are going to go watch a parade!!

[dparksie]

My plans are for run to Arlington in 3 weeks to remember. The flags are out in the front yard and stay there till I get back. All goes well the paint will be done by then, if not I will still take the 47 this year.

Here's to all that served and still are.
