Thanks for the input!
I'm sure, now-a-days, this happens more and more.
This type of news actually helps me realize that "my vow", taken in late '69, is being fullfilled.
That "vow" to myself was that those who serve would not bwe treated like we were.
SALUTE

PS Hope all is well on the home front.

Kind of funny, isn't it, Tonk? I heard stories like this from the WWII era, saw them in old newsreels too.

Funny how they're not being mentioned anywhere now. Lord knows, they SHOULD be.

I guess the TV folks have no time to spare whilst fawning over such patriots as Mr. and Mrs. Sarandon, BS, Mike "The Frog" Moore, etc...

BTW, folks, feel free to send or post that story above to whomever you like. I'm sure there are plenty of decent, nice people out there doing similar things, and I'd really like it if they knew how nice we thought it was, and how great it makes us feel.
