Welcome news. I'll contact my family and friends to be sure they know. G-d Bless our Nam veterans!
Damn...a day late (2 days now) and a few dollars short...again...Welcome back bros.
In memory of my Grandfather. He served in Korea and was Vietnam exempt. He volunteered anyway and received the PH for his troubles.
He died in 2006, the day I got to Kuwait on my way to my third Iraq pump.
To any of my Nam brothers and sisters out there in FReeper-land, Welcome Home!
I wonder what this day translates to in Southeast Asia.
Isn’t Hussein glorifying an American military LOSS?
Why doesn’t Veteran’s Day suffice?
Thanks for the post. This is the first I’ve heard abut it as well.
Alpha Echo. Nothing heard. Out.
Speaking only for myself - No Clue
CPT ARMOR
MACV 1971
Amen to that!
Obama must not have read this because it praises AMERICAN servicemen, not the NVA or VC.

Perfect! Nearly as overwhelming as the parade we got.
The only folks who “recognized” me for the first 40 years were my relatives.
That changed after the first Iraq War. Now let’s see the Panderer in Chief announce something for the Afghan/Iraq Vets.
RVN
1969-1970
“Now; therefore, I, the undersigned, do hereby proclaim and aver that Barack Obama is an obfuscating obscurantist who osculates Muslim/Marxist posteriors and who is also a pandering pusillanimous prevaricating political prick.

VietNam Veteran
PS: Can you believe this peckerhead releases this on the day the “celebrations” are to occur? He can take his “proclamation” and place it where only his proctologist can palpate it”
I’m with you; this peckerhead has done this last minute proclamation purely as a political calculation (probably engineered by that douche bag axelrod), and has thereby cheapened the entire idea! FUBO!

Uh...you’re a little late Bambi...

No doubt, you were the wind beneath your hubby’s wings...
P.S. Ping to #55.
Thank you for your service.
I have a good story about a family member who is a Vietnam Veteran (USMC).
He was talking to an active duty Marine (a baby Brother ;)) and thanking him for his service and pouring into him some praise. (Basically, you all rock!)
The Marine replied, "Oh no! YOU were THE guys!!!
How did you guys fight that war with such primitive weapons!!!"
LOL! I love that story.
Hey vets, go back if you can. The people in the South still love us. You won’t be sorry.
ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That made my morning!
BTTT!
