As a Viet Nam vet I came home, twice, not to a home coming, but to a country that despised me and what I had done. I am so happy the service men and women of today are not only welcomed home with open arms, they are being recognized for their efforts and sacrafices by the American public. To all of the young men and women of our fighting forces, I stand tall and salute you! Lee Brown, US Army, Viet Nam 1969-1971.
