I thank God for Mike's service, and the ultimate sacrifice.

Remember also, those who served, but did not die, & how they were treated when they came home. No "thank yous", no "we're proud", no "mega-greetings at airports", etc. Today, even the loudest "anti-war crowds" say they at least support the troops. Where were they during the vietnam war? They degraded & demoralized our veterans for their SERVICE. Upon returning home, some vietnam vets were literally, spit on.

So gutless.

So sad.

Can we EVER make it up to our vietnam vets?

What a beautiful song! If anyone would like to read a good book about the things left at the wall, see, Laura Palmers', "Shrapnel in the Heart". There has even been a play done, and music written about this book. I happen to be in it, but, I don't like to give my name. I gave a story about my best friend. He died three months before his 18th birthday. We celebrated our birthdays together in the park when we were little. I miss him to this day. Spectre1

@apachesnow my dad was in the 101st as well. He said it was hell over there but him and the rest of the para troopers sucked it up and kicked those nva asses. So in the end I am truly sorry for your lost and may his service in the nam got him a ticket to meet and rest in heaven with GOD AND HIS ANGELS....

My dad a Vietnam veteran. Oh how I love him. He passed away 4-2311. Like most nam vets he died of lung cancer at age 62. My dad lived his life of hell just like his brothers. I respect and thank every single one of u. As a child of a nam vet I understand the hell u guys still to this day live with.my dad lived Vietnam until he took his last breath. My dad had no choice like many. The god awful way u guys was treated when u came home. My dad is at peace now. R.I.P. Mark Hicks Vietnam 1968-1971
