"Not all Americans treated us as trash. I was able to walk in a ticker tape parade in the city of San Diego on the return of the 26th Marines in early 1969, just before my release from active duty."

Nice post, Stumpy, and thanks for your service. I left VN in Jan 70, spent 10 days in the Philippines at my PCS station then flew from 90+F to -12F in Chicago. I never got any flak from people, but I was wearing a sailor uni. The wacko's are mostly on the left and right coast, I hope!
