When my dad came home from the war, he was spit on. It devastated him because he was so proud of fighting for our freedom and supporting our Country.
When my husband came home from VietNam...well you all know how that one went.
When my 'nephew' was home, he was at a mall and was horribly mistreated by young people who had/have no respect for our Servicemen/women.
I was in but never went oversea's and was told my service didn't count, I didn't do anything. I was in tele-communications; pretty impt piece of the equation. We were all honored and saluted at a ceremony sponsored by our community casino/Native Americans and other people and awarded medals by our State.. For many of us, it brought allot of healing.
We still love our Country and all of our service men and women. Thank you all.
