Viet Nam Veterans Day 29 March

[DAKSY]

I would like to thank ALL my brothers & sisters who served in Southeast Asia & welcome them ALL home. I am the son of a USAF Viet Nam Veteran, who got as far as Oakland Army Base on orders for Nam as well. I got diverted to Germany, but during a one week stay at OAB, I pulled KP on my dress khakis & served Steak & Egg "Return Home" Breakfasts to all who made it home on their own two feet. That may have been the ONLY "Welcome Home" many of you ever received. I am proud of that KP duty, & as a Patriot Guard Rider, I SWEAR that no returning US Military Veteran will EVER be treated in that manner...

Thank you for your service veterans. Thank you also wives and Mother for your love and support of these veterans and our country.

As you know, an army marches on it's stomach, so peeling potatoes is just as important as anything else. Logistics has always been the key. It amazes me to read about those guys humping 70-90 pounds on virtually no food and water...though 95 degree heat and 100% humidity.

As far as treatment of veterans, I luckily never either saw or participated in any of that (dissing) crap. The vets I met back then impressed me because they knew how to do stuff and had self confidence.

Thanks for being a part of remembering.
