Got my fingers crossed here. I'm thinking that there were lot of folks in the military during Vietnam who deserved this kind of recognition (some maybe for lesser awards) but didn't get it because of the unpopularity of the war. Do you have any thoughts on that? If that's true, it stinks to high heaven and it's about time we get busy and do something about it.
Your theory makes sense. I'd like to think that didn't happen, but I'd also like to think that our Vietnam veterans were treated with the respect they truly deserved.
