A very well-meaning idea, and I hope it takes off and is successful. I understand completely about the veterans of 1975-2001 vintage, I’m one. We, for the longest time didn’t even exist. Even Desert Shield/Storm vets got marginal recognition beyond the first few years after the Gulf War ended. Anyone remember the men that participated in the Panama invasion in 1989? I do, since my unit sent troops there. SFOR Bosnia? SFOR Sinai? Meals-on-Wheels for the country of XYZ? Government job applications of all-levels asked only if you were a ‘Nam-era vet, no others mattered.
Yes! The period after Shield/Storm was good but it was short lived and petered quickly. The VA did not even want to help the vets who were possibly poisoned but that is a whole nother story.
