Respect and gratitude for Vietnam veterans
Thoreson
This past Sunday, March 29, was National Vietnam War Veterans Day, honoring the 9 million Americans who served during the Vietnam era. It was the war of my generation, friends and classmates drafted, often right out of high school. When they returned from war, their fellow Americans often met Vietnam veterans with vitriol. Not a proud moment in our history, for sure.
Those who gave their last full measure of devotion on the battlefield seldom received a hero’s reception either.
