I go out of my way to congratulate every service member I meet. I remember coming back from Vietnam in August 1971 and being told not to go near the fence of Oakland Army Depot as the protesters would throw urine filled balloons at us. This was on top of the name calling.

These stories make me sad and angry. I was 12 in ‘71 so not really aware of all that was happening. My uncle came back in ‘68 but he didn’t tell any stories about his reception. Thank you for your service. I for one am grateful.
