My Dad started his military life with the Korean war he never talked about it.
When I was born I never saw much of him he was sent to Greece but I remember the pictures the uniform when he came home from Greece to me he was a stranger. Four years later it was off to Vietnam and back to the picture off the uniform and seeing my hero's my father being treated like that day I knew my world had turned upside down. He was sent to Okinawa next we were going to go. At each airport there were these people insulting my family in uniforms the joy I felt when I would kick them and spit at them and call them names. I guess what gets me the most was to me they were my Dad coming home and I could not let them get away with it. No one was stopping them so who would see a 7 year old kicking and punching those long hair funny dressed bad people. I made it a mission of mine long ago to welcome home All the Vietnam Vets and all others as well for they are special people and I love them all I just wish I could have hugged more of the Vietnam vets coming home while we were at the airports waiting to go to Okinawa. I know how you were treated and I know that it does not go away. I remember one history teacher telling about how he protested the war and talked about going to the airports WRONG thing to say in front of me teacher or not I spoke my mind If you are a true American Honor all VETS AND SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN.
