My Grandfather, my Dad and my Uncle. On my mother's side, my two Uncles. One of them went to vietnam three times. He volenteered to go back two times to save two other people from seeing what he saw during this war.

God Bless the USA!!!

ONE! This includes the racial riots of 1968 that most refuse to admit ever happened. SOME of us were held back from Nam.. just to protect "crackers". After that, I have had difficulty understanding what the point was. Obama has not made any of this better.
