Thanks for relating the story, rl.
That would definitely be a compliment being he is one of the few actors that do support our troops.

Thanks for your service, Little Bill...know that your experiences have something to do withe the broader support we see today.
There were many, myself included, who vowed never again to let the Left be the only voices the troops hear.
It was shameful, and every American who stayed silent when it happened SHOULD be ashamed.
When I see someone with any vet hat I go out of my way to thank them, but when I see a Vietnam Vet, I make a point of shaking their hand, looking them squarely in the eye and saying “Welcome Home, sir. Thank you for serving.”
I say that to you now Little Bill, but if I ever get the chance to see you in person, I’ll shake your hand and say it again.

I met him once where he was the guest of honor at a military ceremony and got to thank him for everything he’s doing. He was a genuinely nice, pleasant guy. Hollywood needs more like him.

They then asked me if I was an acorn I didn't even catch the error. I really thought that they were asking if you worked for that goofy community organization ACORN.
It's a crazy world.

I’m pretty sure that if you asked him he would tell
you that he’s no hero but he knows some people who are.
That he’s a good AMERICAN is good enough for me.

Exactly! It EMBARRASSED me to realize how it scored a direct hit on my vanity, but...I think (or would like to think) it was only because I was mistaken for him!

The only time I enjoyed Forrest Gump was when Lt. Dan was on. Otherwise, that movie was stupid.

Thank you! It never bothered me all that much, I did very well after VN, but I know a lot of friends and relatives that it bothered a lot. We were the sons of the WW2 generation and expected a thanks, I never did, we had a war I served just as all my ancestors served, the price of citizenship.

It was actually worse than that - you were scorned for being in the service.
Check to see if there is an organization called "Patriot Guard" near you. We stand flag line for returning/departing troops, funerals for veterans of any war (and ride motorcycles if you got 'em).
It really helps you forget what was done. I was proud to help honor and grieve the loss of one of our brave Navy Seals this summer.
Here's a link

I’ll tell ya...my brain gets tied in knots sometimes...it is bad enough when I am battling that without having a computer “helping” me!
I can manage to embarrass myself on occasion WITHOUT any help, thank you very much!
