To be honest a lot of my family went to Vietnam. Most didn't come home right and it wasn't till I returned from Afghanistan that I realized any of the reasons why. With that said I to this day don't feel like I fought a war. You my brother did. I make it a point to thank those that didn't get thanked when they should have. For them not getting thanked for fighting for rights of everyone. I have thanked a Korean War vet in walmart just shook my hand said thank you told me it was nice to have a young man thank him. There were some younger kids standing around pants hanging low, wife beater, hate backwards asked why I did that. My response was because he had the job of protecting your right to look the way you do and not have me tell you otherwise. I know this is long winded but I try to make a point to thank all service members if that makes me wrong that is fine with me. I don't know how to answer when someone tells me thank you cause I don't really feel like I did much. I have lost friends but they are the ones that need to thanked and remembered not me.
