I can scarce imagine your experiences, but I respect your feelings. Our experience coming home is 180 degrees from your homecoming. What happened to you was despicable and inexcusable. I am constantly humbled when strangers come up to thank me for serving.
I was virulently opposed to sport and other pastimes until my son approached me to tell me how I had hurt him by not attending his games. That made me rethink my position. I still don’t watch sports, but I refrain from voicing opposition most of the time.
My oldest boy is a Navy medic and my football player is now trying to get in the service, though his size is an issue. Lol.
God bless you, and thank you for your service to an ungrateful country.
Oh I definitely watch games family or friends are playing - I’m not a total stick in the mud.
Thank you for the kind thoughts and your long and faithful service. I have a warm place in my heart for navy corpsmen - best of the best! Wish you and your family all success.
