I was still in high school, a Boy Scout, doing my best to counter these idiots. I enlisted at 17 in 71. I admire and appreciate your service. As you recall, wearing your uniform in public back then was not “honored” like it is today. I had to wait a few more years to get shot at. :). God bless.

I was just a toddler during the Vietnam war.
I never understood why people were so openly disrespectful to returning soldiers. Can’t fathom the thought even for a moment.
