Notwithstanding the fact that we all admire and respect “The Greatest Generation”, for their winning efforts and valor in WW II, I reserve my “Greatest” Admiration and Respect for the Viet Nam era veterans. They fought this “unpopular” war, (with more than 58,000 of our finest giving their life), without the total support of our Government, our congress, and our citizens. They won that war! But our country lost it! I confess to being somewhat bitter about how they were and are treated. I am delighted that our brave troops fighting in the middle east today are more appreciated.
