Default Re: Veterans day story

Greg, very well stated, and thank you very much.

I was one of those that was spit at, cursed, and called baby killers. Until a couple of weeks before I returned home in 1968, I couldn't understand why anyone would treat returning veterans that way...

We were doing what we were instructed and trained to do by our country.

Someday, I pray that all Americans understand that this country is not free without sacrificing by millions of servicemen.

In my opinion, the recent immigrants, legal or illegal, have no appreciation or understanding of that. That is the "divide" in this country.
