    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.

    Lee Brown ,a long overdue salute to you.I remember those days you mentioned of the despise for the soldiers of the Vietnam era.It was like ridiculing the messenger.Thanks goodness we have learned from our mistake and have moved forward in how we handle those returning home.Having a father(US Navy) and father-in-law (US Army) who served in WWII, when you leave the front the battle does not end.With the mental images you experience you continue to fight a battle everyday for the rest of your life.Thank you for answering the call.
