Thank you...... wrote on Mar 14, 2008 4:07 PM:to those that served, even though no one agreed with the war in Vietnam. It's just like our current situation, you may not agree with the war, but at least let our troops know you care and appreciate their service and bravery. They deserve the utmost respect..........my dad was in the reserves during Vietnam and thankfully was never sent overseas, but I can only imagine how he felt, as well as the young men/women right now who are in the service.....it must be frightening.......
God bless our troops.......
