Thanks, excellent post! I did 30 months in Nam now on 100% V A disability, wrong place, wrong time twice.

Do not thank me for my service.
I was drafted and did not want to be there.
Thank the 58,000 Americans
who gave their life for no reason.

To paraphrase Kenny Rogers, you didn’t start that old crazy Asian War, but you were proud to go and do your patriotic chore. You deserve thanks for even involuntarily protecting the rights, liberties and freedoms of this country and its populace.

Interesting tidbit. While "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" was first recorded in 1966 (Vietnam era) the songwriter, Mel Tillis, said it was about a World War II veteran.

Despite that fact, the words, "I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore" are still applicable to the Vietnam Veterans as well as WWI, WWII, Korea, and Iraq/Afghanistan. Granted not every person in the military volunteered to join up but they were trained and did their jobs.
Fortunately for me, I was not chosen to go to any war zone during my enlistment. On the other hand, I did meet and speak with a significant number of those who did. To my mind each and every one of them deserves a lot more than they have received from the government and the public. So to all veterans, I say thank you for protecting my rights, freedoms and liberties, and for protecting our country.
