I dare anyone to read this, and not work like a dog to keep from crying like a baby.

Korea
Vietnam
Iraq Three wars undermined by the socialists and their useful idiots both inside and outside our government.
"I think the American people have realized they blamed the wrong people in Vietnam," said Doug Richardson, mayor of the nearby city of Lakewood, who attended the ceremony. "There's been a realization that if you are unhappy with the war, the fact is the military guys go because they were told to go."
Criteser is less convinced. He found himself wondering why no one but family members and Vietnam vets showed up at the July 1 welcome home. The answer, for him, was that things hadn't changed all that much.
"People today are extremely selfish," he said. "Why couldn't anybody from the community have shown up? You don't need a son or a dad or a husband coming home to come out and welcome them home."
Thanks, Ma and Ronnie; a touching remembrance.
