This story made my monitor get crazy blurry. The way our men returning from VN were treated back in the late 60’s/early 70’s was an absolute disgrace that still brings very emotional responses here.

mine, too. I was 12 when this guy left for Nam. I enlisted in 1973, and experienced some of the backlash they were getting by then.

I’m not saying all those guys were angels, but most of them were kids just like me. Trying to do their duty for friends, family, and country. They did not deserve to be accused of the things they were accused of.
