As a viet vet who did two tours, I'm getting tired of this we never welcomed them home crap.
When I came back in 69, I was treated with respect and dignity by everyone I met. The only problem I had was going into a neighborhood bar in uniform, people would not stop buying me drinks.
This I was spat upon when I came home is just more playing victim crap.

Tie a yellow ribbon on the old oak tree. Tony Orlando and Dawn are the parents of the ribbon magnet industry. First started during Jimmy Carter's inglorious reaming from the Ayatolla Kokamamy. I'm old enough to remember there were yellow ribbons everywhere for the US embassy personell being held hostage. My favorite currently is the 'Get'er Done' yellow ribbon-magnet I saw affixed next to a Christian Fish on the back of an SUV driven by an attractive lady who passed me. But I haven't been able to find it anywhere on the internet. Any leads?

This years
Gathering of Viet Nam transportation veterans is being held at Branson this year, instead of at Fort Eustis as it was the last couple years. Sure wish I could get to Branson I enjoyed the Gathering at Eustis, but as I live about 2 miles from there its no problem. Every year it has been a little better and bigger. This year it looks like a full scale blow out.
