some of us who were only old enough to see Vietnam on the six o'clock news
thought you guys got a bad rap on your return. I'm embarrassed that our
country treated you guys that way. Thanks to you veterans of
Vietnam, all servicemen have received a better homecoming. Thank
you!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>And just yesterday while
waiting in grocery line a lady saw my cap and said she had to come up and
thank me. First time that has happened to me since getting out in '72.
Was a decent experience and glad those are now in the majority from what I
hear. The media can give us the bias of feeling ignored or spit on for
serving. Very nice to see the welcome change. Proud to have served and would
be glad to serve again if they would take me.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wanted to say "Thank You" for all of the
sentiments for those who serve or have served. I find it very heart
warming when people of this great country express their gratitude for those
who server their country. I've served in the Air Force for the last 16
years and have always felt it was a way of life, not just a "job" or
"adventure". I usually shy away from the compliment because I've
always felt it is a way of life for me and therefore, one that doesn't need
to be thanked. I know that is not true, but for me being in the
military, it is natural, so no acknowledgement is needed. However, it does
make my day when people do acknowledge what we stand for. Not
metaphorically, but there on the front line. Thank You.</FONT></DIV>
