USAF, 1970 - 1974.
(USAF, 1970 - 1974.)
USN retired.
My father was bombing Hanoi in 1972. He should have been bombing American college campuses.
From USAF 1966-70.
My observations?
WWII and Korean W Vets were shown deserved appreciation and respect. Vietnam Vets, not so much. In fact as a Vet in college, I rarely brought up the fact that I served. The USAF Veteran's cap that I wear today would have been ridiculed back in the 70s.
I feel especially bad for the Viet Vets who returned with wounds (physically and emotionally). I think that a warmer welcome home at the time would have been more than a little therapeutic.
