Very nice Thread! I saw my father coming home from Vietnam and the attitude of our country has changed for better. Now my daughter who is a 2nd lieutenat in the AirForce and on her 3rd year of Medical School at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda MD. She is currently working with the Phyciatric patients at Walter Reed Hospital and has told me horrible stories. Some of our men in their 20's with blown off limbs just staring off into space, no one to talk to and wanting to end their lives. It would be wonderful if people would get together and send cards of appreciation to our men(boys) that are home and in situations like this. If you are a veteran, take time out of your life and volunteer your time at your local VA hospitals. They just want someone to hold their hand and hear their stories.

Blair, my daughter was eating at a local restaurant and in uniform, when she went to pay her bill, the waiter told her a gentleman anonymously paid her bill and said,"Thank you for serving our country." Yes our country has changed for the better and I am proud to be an American...
