thank you for that information! I know that for example my father served in Vietnam and there's a lot of other people that did as well. I'm also a very lucky guy that my father came home! there are many people who serve their country that do not come home after they end up serving their country, and they give the ultimate sacrifice. I always am very very proud of those who served because they keep us safe from the craziness around us, and I'll always remember those that have served, Or are serving, and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

from what I understand about what happened in Vietnam, from all of the news reports that happened, and all the things that happened, all I can tell you is that what understand it was hell! I'm so lucky to be able to say that my dad did come home, And that he did serve in Vietnam, in the Navy, and was able to come home, but I'll always know that each individual that served in the conflict has their own situations and issues that they have dealt with, and they have served their country with distinction, And I thank everyone for their service regardless of where they have served, but with Vietnam, we know that there were people which did not come home, or were injured, And not only that, but the injuries are far more than just physical injuries, because they could be emotional mental or psychological, you name it. That is why I want to make sure that whatever happens, when someone serves their country, that the military and the government take care of them, because without the sacrifices of many people who who decided to serve their country, we would not be able to be and do what we have done for many years. My main concern is regardless of what they do and how they've served I would hope that the government takes care of them and does it well, because they have done what they were supposed to do, and we have a debt of gratitude that we owe the soldiers who have served.

I know for example that my dad would say to me that he did serve in the military, did go to Vietnam, but that is about as far as he's willing to go, and I respect him for that. A lot of people that go into war zones and deal with that type of stuff deal with problems that we probably would not be able to fathom, as they try to deal with ghosts and goblins in their heads, and other things that cause them PTSD and other things: because of stuff in Vietnam, I have a better understanding that many people regardless of what war they serve in that have problems that we may never be able to understand.

For those that served in Vietnam I salute you all, And for all of those who serve in other conflicts I also salute you, but It is my continued hope that veterans that served their country are taken care of: we have the ability to do it, and we have the moral ability and the ethical responsibility to take care of our soldiers who have served their country and done what we have asked them to do. regardless of whether they May have their issues, we need to make sure they are taken care of! for without them we would not be safe and be able to do say believe and think what we do And we would not have a safe place to be able to do such things.

When I think of my family that have served who are veterans, I always remember that they serve their country during whatever conflict it was, and they went because they felt the need to go. my brother also I served in Afghanistan and Kuwait people that have served in Saudi Arabia that I went to school with, during the Iraq conflict. regardless of what war they served in or how much time they served, they deserve to be taken care of in an appropriate manner, And for every single person that has served their country I say:

THANK YOU for helping us stay safe and for keeping us that way!

May God bless all those who served in this difficult war.

They went as boys came home men.

And to those who never came home May they all rest in peace
