SALUTE TO VIETNAM VETRANS

[Chazzman]

I would like to thank all veterans, combat and peace time, I especially want to say to the Vietnam Veterans: I am proud of you and what you did for our country... Every opportunity I have I let them know in person that I am 'Proud of their sacarfice.' You never received the apperication, thanks, grattitude that you deserved as we all know. In WWII the average combat veteran spent 10 days per year in combat, in Vietnam it was 262, I believe I am correct in saying that. PEACE BE WITH YOU!

To all POW's those that returned and those that didn't YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN

... My other half was there for 3 1/2 tours, 9 months each, and says he would go back to get the MIAs that our government refuses to too. He also says
he would have gone to the middle east if asked, but too old??? I love the old fart!!!

I was in during Viet Nam not in country but took care of some of the guys that came back. In this country I was told NOT to wear the uniform off post, not to let people know I was in the Army. REALLY PISSED ME OFF!!!! But for safety and obeying orders I did do what they told me to do. I too THANK ALL THE MILITARY FOR THE SACRIFICES THEY MAKE. AND THE FAMILIES THAT SUPPORT THEM!
