God Bless all those that fought in the Vietnam War. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm so sorry for how you were treated upon your return. I know, my brother was 101st Army Ranger - Bronze Star. He didn't even act like he was ever in the military, when he came home. He kept quiet about it then, and he still does now. ExCEPT when we met General Tommy Franks, and he said something quietly to him, and Gen. Franks pointed back at him and said, "AIRBORNE!" - my brother beamed with pride.
I want you all to know that I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and that I publicly thank as many in our military as I can--so that others can hear me do this--in YOUR honor, and for those serving now.
YOU HAVE MADE AND ARE MAKING THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!!
