Many states and local communities have dedicated Veteran's Day parades and activities to specifically honor Viet Nam Vets over the last few years.

Viet Nam veterans are long overdue for their recognition of service! I've noticed that so many of the Viet Nam veterans were the first to honor and thank many of our younger service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. It appeared these veterans made sure that no other veteran would be forgotten.

THANK YOU for your service you DID make a difference!
