Brought tears to the eyes of this Marine.

With regard to what we faced upon our return:
It does not matter what they said.
It only matters what we did.
In the long run our acts will stand.

"There it is" as we use to say in "the Nam."

75th Rangers 69-70 1st Cav.
There are a whole bunch of old guys are standing between these young soldiers and the scum that would steal their glory.
Never again in my lifetime.

God bless you and your fellow comrades. Hanoi Jane is ready to imbark on the same trail and we must not let her and her kind win this time! A prayer for all our soldiers, those serving now and in the past.

First time viewing for me. It's a keeper. Thank you for the posting.

Thanks to all who served and returned. You're my generation's guys.

To my first love who didn't return, RIP DJB.

Thank You for posting this.

Those of us who were too young to serve suffered only the ridicule of our peers and the disdain of our teachers for supporting you then, as we support you now.

Our little adolescent miseries were nothing compared to what you who were just a few years older gave, and you will ever have our utmost admiration and respect.

It was not you who failed Americans at home, but Americans at home who failed you.

In many of us that forged a determination to do what is right, regardless of popular opinion, and regardless of the doubts of those around us.

You, who are our older brothers and sisters, cousins, uncles and aunts, taught us by example that freedom isn't free, and that loud proclamations are just that--loud, and not necessarily correct.

Thank you for paving the way, for your great sacrifices, and may Almighty God shower you all with His blessings for all time.

So If you see me, someday, riding a green hardtail, in the wind, remember that my hair was short until well after the war... that I'm a biker and not a hippie.

This is the reason I had you send "Sky Pilot" to me. Too bad it can't be linked here. The song says it all. The bagpipes get me every time.

I'm keeping that one if you don't mind.
