Man this sounds like keg night around a campfire. Cool. Now back to the beer...
Yesterday a few of us local VN oldpharts had another short discussion on the topic (mmmmmm... beer). STRONG consensus remains - us VN Vets really need to make sure you younger Vets do know how much your service actually DOES mean to us. Want to get together for a "soda pop"?
Then send me an E-mail if you happen to be coming to central FL for this:
http://www.floridaveteransreunion.com/ Note that it's is now appropriately called the "Vietnam and All Veterans reunion". Besides - it's my birthday that week so I'm definitely going to have a "soda pop" or two.
Event Schedule is here:
http://allveteransreunionfl.net/ Note that the M/C escort kick-starts everything on Sunday 19 APR. The turnout is usually OUTSTANDING and links to pics taken during prior reunions are included on this web page.

BTW, that is not a slight against non-Vets standing up and being thankful. I appreciate their sentiments as well.

No not at all and it wasn't meant to be conveyed as if he was being dishonest. What he was being was sarcastic as I know for a fact he was spit on more than once and the only part of the hand raised in his direction was not a thumb but a middle finger.

Lonesome wax sorry dude but im still in the army and a combat vet, as well as my father in law who server 20 plus years in the army as well as my great uncles in vietnam. I have to say out of pride alone for my country and my sacrafices as well as respect for those who sacracifed before me I would never sit during the national anthem. Trust me I fully understand that its your right to do what you want. But its my DUTY as a service member in the armed forces to point out your shortcomings.
I will always feel sad for you. You served your country and you have no idea what it means. It doesn't matter what you did while you were in, what matters is how you respect what you did and the others that have and are doing. You sir have shown no respect to either group, that is why I feel sad for you.
