Took me many years to work up the courage to put on my Viet Nam Vet ballcap and go out in public. In some ways I'm sorry that I did not do so earlier in my life. The very day I put it on another vet wearing a Korea Vet cap stopped me on the street, embraced me and simply said "Welcome home and thanks for your service."

That was the first time of many since that has happened to me and the emotional flood was tremendous. Not as much as visiting the Wall for the first time but close.

Welcome home. I am grateful for and humbled by your service to our country.

Unfortunately John F'in Kerry does not feel the same way:
