At least most of your countrymen, even the idiots that hated you and/or threw their medals over the White House fence, have come to realize the error of their ways.

1st Air Cav 67-68 A million dollar experience, I wouldn't give a nickle to repeat.
I remember the 1st Air Cav moving into the Da Nang-Hoi An area. In was Dec. 67, I think. I was a medic for the 282nd (Black/Alley Cats) Helicopter Co back then. Your right about the experience. At the time I hated medicine and my MOS. After getting home and some soul searching for several years I went to Emory University and received a degree as a Physician Assistant and worked 38 years in Cardiac Surgery, a career I would never change. I would never had picked medicine had it not been for Vietnam.

Know how you feel but it was a different time when we served. No reason to feel resentment towards the boys and girls who serve today. I honor each and every one of them.

Yep, took me to work and brought me back, only to come home and be hated by our own countryman. Today's veterans enjoy all sorts of services and gratification. Kinda stinks, and that's why I don't donate to any of there causes. Sorry just a little bitter.

the quality of the people in the service certainly contrasts with the quality of the people in Washington...

To late, and then Carter pardons the draft dodgers that went to Canada. Doesn't work for me. They can all get bent.

Was at a gun show this weekend and saw a gentleman wearing a Chosen Frozen cap and in a wheelchair. I asked him if he was at the Chosen and answered yes - "it was 41 below and and I lost the use of my legs and haven't walked since then." I thanked him for his service and felt honored by talking to him.

I wasn't referring to the draft dodgers; they deserve their own special corner of Hell.

A marine friend in the aviation group at Iwakuni in 1960 always used to say,
"Mushi, mushi, ahh nu nay
Iwakuni GCA
Ennie-menie-miny-moe
Can you read my radio"
Still funny after all these years.
Pardon my spelling as he always said it that way.
