<br />People are so mean about the things they don't understand. I had to draw my unemployment when I first came home from the Army. While signing up for it, one of the ladies behind the counter had the nerve to ask me "Honey, have YOU actually ever been in the military?" The redneck in me wanted to say something sarcastic like "No, I just have all the documentation because they liked the way I looked." But I held my tongue and simply said, "Yes. And I loved it.

I thank you for your service also. Yes Nam vets really got trashed coming home by the same left-thinkers who disrespect service people in uniform perform today. Considering their actions and dress it's pretty apparent hippies didn't have much self respect, so their treatment of others spoke volumes to that personal deficiency.

Happy Veteran's Day to you and let me say thank you for serving our country. I'm sorry to hear your dad went so long before any thank you but I'm glad your church held that service for the Vets. People need to separate the soldiers from any unjust, insane wars that our insane leaders cook up.

Today is Veterans' Day in the U.S.A.

If no one has ever told you thank you for your service to our great country, allow me to be the first!

I know the Vietnam Veterans got a raw deal coming home into California back in the day. My father was one of them. Who never got a thank you for his service or honored in any way until my church did a service dedicated to service members one year. He wept. So did I.

It sent flames shooting from my eyes when I read that our soldiers were getting spit on again by Californians not that long ago when coming home from Iraq. So if you ever hear me say I hate those hippies, that's why.

I am a veteran, so I know what it means to be one. Whether you served in action on the war front or never so much as seen a simple riot.... I thank you for your time, sweat, dedication and honor.
