My first husband was a Vietnam veteran. Had he lived he would have been 69 years old on August 29th this year. Wasn't a big fan of that war but respected the people that fought. As a people I think we learned a lot from that time. Things like the fact that you can hate a war or all wars and still be respectful of those that serve in it. We can still treat soldiers and their families with the dignity and respect that they deserve when they come home---no matter what way they come back.
