A great post for today. Thanks.
Just got back from wonderful memorial ceremony in Ft Walton Beach FL. Hurlburt/Eglin/7th Special Forces there along with all local first responders and civic organizations. Wish PBS was there to share....
RR: 1982. “It has been a lesson relearned not just by Americans but by all the people of the world. Yet, while the experience of Vietnam has given us a stark lesson that ultimately must move the conscience of the world, we must remember that we cannot today, as much as some might want to, close this chapter in our history, for the war in Southeast Asia still haunts a small but brave group of Americans — the families of those still missing in the Vietnam conflict.
They live day and night with uncertainty, with an emptiness, with a void that we cannot fathom. Today some sit among you. Their feelings are a mixture of pride and fear. They’re proud of their sons or husbands, fathers or brothers who bravely and nobly answered the call of their country. But some of them fear that this ceremony writes a final chapter, leaving those they love forgotten.”

Except half the country isn’t American.
Yes. This ceremony gave honor to our MIAs also.
