I am a Vietnam Vet who returned home whole in body and mostly in mind. I wear a hat occasionally that denotes that I am Retired Air Force and folks wherever acknowledge and thank me for my service. If they could only read my mind!! But I am grateful to have served my country and not run off to Canada like some cowards who chose to betray America. While I agree that it was a war we didn't win due to government bureaucracy and media bias, it was a war that disgraced the American soldiers.

Thank you for your service Curtis. I apologize for the USA and their hand in making it a terrible time for all of you young men and women who served. It is disgraceful that we mistreated you when you returned. I am glad to say I had no hand in that personally.
