Johnny's big picture of Arlington is so appropriate. Snow Bunny, thank you for your generosity of spirit and for giving us all a place to be our best, for cheering up the troops in harm's way and still today...every day. I'm humbled by you and by every soldier who served. God bless you all for your sacrifices.

Someday the purpose will be shown to us, I know, but I think God's mercy and goodness is here today with our Vietnam Vets - to teach a younger generation what it means to fight for a noble cause, under the gun and with a world against you.
The country is finally coming to learn what you all have known for thirty years. Stolen Valor: How the Vietnam Generation Was Robbed of its Heroes and History.

Welcome home!

Thank you for caring enough to say "Welcome home" to men you've never met.

Thanks for that flag.

As senior officer on the POW repat plane out of Hanoi to Clark AFB in the Philippenes, Jeremiah Denton spoke their first words:

"We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve our country under difficult circumstances."

He speaks for me, in tribute to all - living and dead - who made that possible for me to say.
