Dear Sir:

Obviously, you are a veteran of the Vietnam War.

I was a young boy at the time, I remember only some things.

One in particular was how wrong it felt that the people around me didn't support our troops.

The images of the protesters being "less than civil" (putting it mildly) to our returning forces are a permanent part of me.

I was too young to stop them then, but I promise you that I won't ever be quiet about such things again. Maybe in some small way, that makes up for a tiny fraction of the pain that you and the other men suffered at the hands of those anti-Americans. Maybe not.

But please take from me an honest apology for such treatment; you deserved so much better.

Thank You.

PS: I've enjoyed your posts!

Your post speaks for me as well.

I was too young to understand anything but the images on the news. I came away with this impression: soldiers good, protesters violent & crazy.

I will never forget it.

God bless our troops.

"Dear Sir: "

Don't Sir me ! I work for a living too.

Seriously, thanks, but just being a member of this forum feelings like those are the standard. I, and I'm sure the other vets here, kinda take that as a given unless we see different. I DO appreciate your post. Thanks again.
