I will apologize up front for this post. Not that I want to take anything away from 9/11 but never once did I see a flag at half staff for a Viet Nam Veteran . Never once did I receive a thank you till after the Iraq war. Then it did not matter how many thank you for your service I received it meant nothing to me. So I hope everyone has wonderful 9/11 . I have learned to live with the cards I was dealt. I'm done I am off my high horse. ------------- We the unwilling Led by the unqualified Doing the impossible for the Ungrateful |

Yes,,Festus,,,that was one of the darkest times of our country and that is what I've always considered as the "Beginning Of the End" when the hollywood types realized that they "could" affect a narrative that a big part of our younger generation would follow, even tho they were protesting against their fellow man,,,,so sad it was,,,,OK,,I'm done,,,,,

| No need to apologize festus. It sucks what you went through and how you were treated. And though it's too late and you say it doesn't matter, I'm going to say it anyway, thank you, you deserve the same honor as anyone else. |

| What tbone said. Plus I think it was others that went through what did back then are the reason they have made sure it was different it current times. |

X2.......what happened to guys back when was a disgrace and what we see now is a grateful country determined to not make that mistake again. We may beat up the leaders making the calls, but not the guys they put in harm's way.
