As a VietNam vet who had 5 dead Americans on the tailgate of my APC during TET 1968 while still in hostile contact with the enemy, I feel the same way.

Nam era Army vet , a little later than you so know the feeling.

I’m 3rd generation. Grandad, infantry Europe, Dad , Navy Medic, Normandy, Africa, Europe, WW II.

We went for a higher goal, and in the service of those before us....

Few of our later year politicians know , nor care , of the courage/sacrifices made by us,and the current service members, so the rest can act like fools, and worry about Obamaphones.....

Put them, where we were, and see how fast the ACLU, Jesse J, Al S, Harry Reid,
Nancy P, Barry O, and Plugs Biden come running to their aid.....

WE know the truth of Bengahzi, and the rejection of that most sacred code
that “ no one gets left behind”

Thanks for your service, and a salute to the brave souls you described....

They are not forgotten
