Today is Vietnam Veterans' Day

To all you Vietnam Veterans out there, you have my deepest, heartfelt thanks or all you did, all you survived and for all you are still going through today. 

From The Veterans Site (https://blog.theveteranssite.greatergood.com/vietnam-vets-day/?utm_source=ggn-crosspost&utm_medium=social-fb&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=vietnam-vets-day&utm_term=7097396&fbclid=IwAR22bqhEgFWYiZSwCF6exV8seTb2AU_Liy5dTXggq5nj0TbMJtuRbHS-0JQ)

March 29th, the nation will quietly celebrate National Vietnam Veterans Day, but most of the nation may not even know that fact. After all, it is a new idea and it is not one of the big national holidays like Memorial Day or Veterans Day with a three-day weekend attached to it.

We Vietnam veterans are honored that such a day has been set aside. Though it may go unnoticed by most, that makes little difference to we who served in Vietnam. We know who we are. We remember only too well those we served with and those who did not come home with us.

We are proud of our service and of our brotherhood.

These 5 decades later, there is no need for commentary, one way or the other. We have heard all of it, absorbed it, and survived it, and moved on from it. Besides, such musings are moot. History has already left the divisions and the underlying pro or con feelings about our war far behind.
