My post #44 is for your brother, and any/all who served. The welcome home they got, brought on by the treasonous American media, was sick.

I'm not a big supporter of capital punishment, but I wish it were still being used today for traitors. I'd settle for treason still being considered a crime.

Can't argue with you there!! It was very sick.

I was young at the time, but I remember, while he was over there, in my mind I had built him up to be a giant, a hero. We have a very large family (Rick is the oldest of the 12 of us) and we all went, with Mom and Dad, to pick him up. I saw him and was shocked. As young as I was I remember thinking "my God, he is just a kid!" He was still a hero to me, I just remember being struck by how young he was to have gone through so much. I expected him to look older.

We all of course, beamed with pride, and still do! I am proud of each and every one of our boys we served! No matter where it was or when. As our country should be.

Thanks, from one yank to another :)
