GET OUT THE HANKIES!

Got this from
a Viet Nam vet friend of mine. If you like it pass it on to
others that
would appreciate it

Excellent short video sent to me by one of our
Patriots. For those who
served in Viet Nam, it will mean a lot
more.

"Patriotism
means to
stand by the
country.
It does not
mean
to stand by the president"

Theodore Roosevelt

i think that they might be busy or it needs to be spread around more as in sending the link out to others?

I know....But they got spit in their faces, called baby killers, etc....And alot of them could not get employment....And alot of them still suffer today mentally because they were there, although they were not given the choice...Had to follow orders...My father was very upset about the way they were treated..He was in the reserves then, but still served 27 years and boy was he pissed !!!

Now that broke up this Old Nam Vet up. Don't know if I should hug you or hit you, but whatever, thanks for the post. Needless to say this is written a few minutes after I watched the video. Again, thanks for the post.

Addendum: Think it will be a hug... no hitting involved. It still broke me up though.
