Dano, the reason we got such a great welcome home was thanks to the VietNam Vets, They made sure all soldiers were welcomed home.
You should be proud of your service, your country asked for help and you stepped up to the plate. You did your job. When people are embarrassed by their service thats when people start dieing in vain.
I have a POW/MIA tattoo on my forearm because I am proud of my service, and I am proud of what the VietNam Vets did for my country, They were told to step up and when they did they did their job, And as long as I am alive they WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. We need to acknowledge all war vets, so what happened when your family returned home doesn't happen again.
And Streets I kind of know how you feel about not talking about it, I know a few people that don't talk about it, Hell there are some things I can't talk about and mine was a short time in a much easier war.
Just stand proud and fly the POW/MIA flag high. Make sure your brothers are Never forgotten again.
