I too want to express my gratitude to all the men and women who served in the Vietnam War.(and other wars) I too am sorry for how some of your country men reacted to your return. I can not understand the people who did not see you as HERO'S and BRAVE men, who just had to fought someone else his war for their country. For me those people deserve no respect!. You Veterans are the ones who do deserve respect!! and not forget the fellows hwo did not made it through. I try to imagagine, how i would have felt if I was your/theirs place, i can only gass. I have read some reactons of ather people on this site, and it hurts my feelings and I think most of all yours, that there are still people who speak badly about you. Please accept my sincere respect for all that you had to went through.

There is just one thing I want tot ask the veterans who read this. I have been interested in the vietnam war since I was little kid. I have seen many films (like platoon and we where brothers) and read some sites. I have always been interested in the real stories. To honer and pay my respect to all veterans, I want a special foto to be enlarged and place it in my living room, if that is alright with you. Even I have never knew one of your in private, but I have the feeling I do. If you have any pictures you would like to show ore tell your story I would be honered. (I hope this is not a trange question to ask)
