Since I was in my teens and early twenties during the Nam War, I remember it well. But, what I remember the most is the mistreatment these vets received when they returned home. Beat-up mentally and physically from the war, they came home to those spitting in their faces, verbal and physical abuse. Why? only because they were American's (some drafted into the armed forces) that only did what their country mandated them to do.
I'm married to a Vietnam Vet. He was proud to have served his country and still is. I also had brothers that served during that war, cousins and uncles. I supose we were all scared that they wouldn't come home.
