My Dad and I served in RVN at the same time, he was in Tuy Hoa with the 136th FIS/107th TFW, NYANG. They were flying F100s, I was spotting Naval Gunfire from the back seat of 01 Bird Dogs for the Corps.

He got home after I did, and being a local unit from Niagara Falls, the 136th received a hearty welcome home.

I received a hearty welcome home from the fathers of my high school friends who were WWII/Korea vets, we were equals, and had some talking to do. I went to SUNY Buffalo, and the SDS, INTLANSWER, and the other elitist dickheads from New York City regularly shut down the campus and hurled invectives at the vets.

I told my father that my generation of vets would never turn their backs on the new returning vets and let Intlanswer. I wish he would have lived long enough to see the Free Republic and the Gathering Of Eagles where we faced down Intlanswer. Those punks really wanted a piece of the 45,000 Vietnam, Kuwait, and War on Terror vets that were there to protect the monuments in Washington

Too bad the cops kept them on their side of the street.
