This moves me to tears. My husband died recently. He held the Silver Star, Purple Heart, Bronze Star with V device....and too many other medals to list. He was in that war we failed to win..you know ....Vietnam. He never thought we failed to win. He was a quiet man and on his headstone are the words, Follow Me. He admired, respected, and supported Rick Perry.

Thank you FReeper friend. I was moved to tears too. God bless you and your husband for his bravery (tearing up again).

So sorry to hear of your loss, I don’t think you ever mentioned it before. When did he serve in Nam and when did he pass away?

I was deeply touched by your post about your husband. You sure said a lot in just a few words.

God Bless you and your family, and thank you for your service to our country. (Wives and family also serve -- before, during, and well after deployment.)
