I came back from VietNam in 1970 - people didn't thank me then.
Thank you for thanking me now.

thank you for your service...I have spoke to many vietnam veterans at the VA. All of them are great guys, and not a single one of them thought we were losing in Nam.
You guys did an out standing job and watched out for eachother. Regardless of the decade in which you served, we all share a bond through the pride, disipline, honor and comitment of our armforces.
HOORRAAAHHH!!! to you all and Semper Fidelis.

Thank you Geeknow, but the real thanks should go to my dad. He instilled in me a love of country and a sense of duty while I was still a teenager.
He also called the Army recruiter on me.
In the fall of '86 I was talking with an Air Force guy who wasn't doing much to try and enlist me. Said I should talk to the Army instead, and he made the first call to the recruiter for me. I must have been the easiest recruit ever... When I walked in he asked me why I wanted to join, and I quoted JFK's "what you can do for your country" speech to him. Took the ASVAB pre-test, blew it away, and started the paperwork right then and there.
I'd do it all again, and I hope my own son will choose to enlist when he's of age. That'd make him the 4th straight generation that did. Now, I wonder why my dad called that Army recruiter?
The rest of you vets out there who are combat vets deserve a very special Thank You. During Desert Storm I was at Tripler AMC so I never deployed to a combat theater. You guys are the ones who really gave up the most to serve your country.

My Honor and Duty to have proudly served!What Is A Veteran?
A "Veteran" -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to, and including his or her life."
