It's worth it, but after what happened back then, totally unexpected. The ifrst time it happened to me, and my neighbor said "Thank you" asfter I mentioned I'd served, I said, "For what?"

MACV, Class of 1971

Thanks,

This guy got so choked up that I thought maybe I was risking striking too deep a nerve.

Happened a few weeks ago too with my daughter's friends dad. I mentioned a book I was reading about Somolia and the black hawk incident (In the Company of Heroes) and he just looked away and said "don't go there."

Stopped that conversation real quick.
