I attended a short ceremony at Quantico today and it was a little odd, but appreciated. It was odd because no Vietnam Vets spoke and the people who did speak apparently knew very little about the war.

Oh well, it's more than we got when we got back home all those years ago and I got a free pin out of it.

It has been my observation that most Veterans are working on 11 November and the draft dodgers usually have the day off with pay. Not 100% but many.
