NOT FORGOTTEN

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BOTH SERVED IN THE MILITARY.  HE SERVED 6 YEARS AND I SERVED 5 YEARS. 
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY AND ALSO SPEAK FOR 
MY HUSBAND,  WE  ARE BOTH VERY PROUD TO BE AMERICANS AND TO LIVE IN THE U.S.A.  
WE DID NOT SERVE IN A WAR, BUT WE WOULD OF BEEN PROUD TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY
IF CALLED UPON. THE MEN WHO SERVED IN VIETNAM WERE VERY PROUD SOLDIERS AND THEY WERE THERE
FOR THE LOVE OF THEIR COUNTRY. ANYONE WHO LOOKS DOWN UPON THESE MEN HAVE THE BIGGER PROBLEM. 
IT ISN'T A QUESTION OF WHO THEY KILLED OVER THERE, THEY DID WHAT WAS NEEDED TO SURVIVE AND 
WHO ARE WE TO QUESTION THEM AND TO JUDGE THEM FOR DOING THEIR DUTY. WHEN THEY RETURNED
HOME THEY DID NOT GET THE WELCOME THEY DESERVED.  THERE WAS PLENTY OF BLOOD SHED AND 
FRIENDS KILLED IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES AND ALL THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY COULD DO WAS SPIT IN 
THEIR FACES. PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WAR WAS FOR.  WHY SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING IN 
DISRESPECT IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT?!  
WE FEEL VERY THANKFUL TO THE MEN WHO SERVED AND 
YOU HAVE THE GREATEST RESPECT FROM US.
                GOD BLESS YOU AND THE U.S.A.
