Accept this salute from an old Seabee. My only experience in Viet Nam was sitting on the tarmac in Saigon in a commerical airliner on my way to Diego Garcia. The pilot announced that the war would end at midnight that night. One old sargeant and a flight attendent applauded. By that time it seemed nobody cared.
