Haven't heard anything about today except a mention in the VA newsletter. Sort of like Charlie Brown said about wetting your pants in a dark suit. It gives you a warm feeling, but nobody notices. On the upside, I haven't been spit at in over 50 years. | ||

I had heard about the day previously, but had completely forgotten until an email from McGuire Army Navy. https://www.mcguirearmynavy.co...id_rd=73332271648787 I don’t know that I’ve ever seen it asked, and perhaps this would be an opportunity: Who among the membership served in Vietnam during the war? ► 6.0/94.0 “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz | |||

I posted it on another board I'm a mod on. There are probably a bunch on this board, as it recognizes those who were in country as well as those who weren't, but are still Vietnam Era vets. They all took their chances. I'm a member of those groups. | |||

And I thank you for having done it. Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around. — — — — — — — — — — — — God bless America. | |||

To all the Vietnam Combat, in country, and era veterans on the board. I will say the same thing that I say to anyone I see wearing Vietnam Veteran apparel.... Welcome Home...

I was in the Marines from 1966-70 & in VN 1967/68 & I didn't know there was such a thing as VN Vets Day.

I was 17 when I hit Parris Island. I called VN my "senior trip". ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." Thomas Sowell | |||

Only a Vietnam ERA veteran (and draftee), but wanted to extend a heartfelt WELCOME HOME to those who served in country. | |||

We should explore how to address a military veterans day. It's a time to remember those who didn't return, too. It's not all picnics and ice cream for some of us. | |||

My father was in Panama during WW2, got jungle rot on his feet and was hospitalized in Niagra Falls Va Hospital where he met my Mom. My Father In-Law was a POW in Germany - Both have WWII on their grave markers. Me, I was lucky, ARMY, Okinawa and out all in 3.4 years - 68-72. | |||

Those who didn't return: Memorial Day. Those who served: Veterans Day. Any dog can be a Guide Dog if you don't care where you're going. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||
