Thanks Ron,

I am glad to see so much support for our troops today, because we got very little if any in the late 60's and early 70's.

Even though we didn't get it back then, we all appreciate it now. It is also an honor to thank the young guys now.. Dave PH1/DV Retired USN

I try and greet any and all service men and women when I see them around and try to thank them for what they are doing for us! I know I sure didn't get much thanks while serving during the Nam days! I think people have finally started to realize just what these men and women are doing for us and the country!

Thanks Ron, God Bless our troops. They give and gave so much!!! It is good to see the support, as you,Rich, and Dave said, we had very little if any support in the Nam war.

I hope that how the troops were treated in Vietnam and even after Korea, are far behind us. I think things are different now that all Americans and not just anti-war voices are being heard. Now, besides the anti-war individuals and negative media, plenty of effort is being attempted by the silent but large majority of citizens to be heard in support of all servicemen and veterans past. How easy is to forget that our right to speak our mind, even against war, was provided by those who continue to go to war to preserve it. It's a fact.

I saw a bumper sticker slogan recently that had a US Flag on it that read "Land of the Free and the Home of those who fight for it". It is a sad reality but very very true.
