Thanks, Snow Bunny, for posting those very elequent words.

Personally, I find it hard to believe it was 32 years ago for me. To be honest, at times it still seems like 32 seconds, though most of the rough edges have been rubbbed off by time.

Looking back over the years, three decades or more ago, we were young and blissfully unaware of how our lives would change. WOW He has that exactly right. I wind up, every year, giving a talk at least once at the local High School, and trying to dispel at least some of the liberal stew served up by the NEA. I make sure they know exactly what the return home was like, and what the result was (my hiding in the bottle for 10 years). I hope that I somehow make them a little prouder of their country, and aware that we didn't "lose" Vietnam, as is preached widely today. (BTW, its kind of fun, because I, and some other vets who also speak, open up for questions, and give straight up, honest answers to them, and even with the lib indoctrination, the kids have learned some history at least ;-)

I probably won't go to a theater to see this movie, will probably wait until it becomes available on DVD..(hey, I'm Lazy, and would rather use DVD, so I can FReep at the same time ROFL).

I hear you, GW. I was just thinking the same thing when I read about Rick Rescorla getting killed at the WTC. It frightens me how many years have raced by. And it frightens me how fast they fly now.

God, I hate getting old (sigh).

It sure does seem like seconds instead of years a lot of the time. I think it is very much apart of everyone that was there.

I love hearing about how speak to the kids about Vietnam. That is so great. I have heard so many stories how the teachers are teaching their own version and it always makes me so angry.

You are a wonderful person. Thanks for all you do.
