Yes welcome home, and thank you for your service. Thanks to the Heros that did not
come home. Viet Nam, 65-66 Da Nang, and not everyone wanted to walk point.

 

Thanks to all those that have never received their rightful welcome back to home, I was a year too young to get into the fight but was entering the US Army as it was coming to a close.

My hat will always be off to those that serve(d) our country, they deserve nothing but respect from the rest of us. I did lose a great many friends and friends of friends in those years.

 

I agree Welcome home to All Veterans,

This will be the first Veterans day with out my Step Dad....It will be hard but I will be out with other Veterans Riding on our bikes making some noise.

My thoughts are with JR Martin USMC 67-69

 

I want to thank you guys and gals as well, not enough thank you's are ever given in my opinion.

 

thanks to all the vets. i never served but hold ALL vets in the highest esteem. From those such as my uncles who served in the marines on iwo jima, those in korea, viet nam , and iraq/afghanistan. also do not forgot those "police actions" in between some of the more recognized battles. Lost a cousin in viet nam in 1966 and always wonder what he would have been like in he had survived. he and 50,000 other heroes. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

 

VN 1969 - 1970 location lll Corps 54th Arty group Battery B 2/35th gun #6 M109 SP 155mm howitzer driver and 1st gunner. spent the first 9 mo. as support for the First Australian Task Force infantry then as support for the 11th Armor Cav.

 

My heartfelt thanks to all who served. May those who paid the ultimate price rest in peace.

 

As an Iraq vet, I have the utmost respect to all of our "older" vets our State Rep for CVMA had 5 years in nam. You guys paved the way for us young bucks. Happy Veteran's Day to all whom it applies!!!

 

Welcome Home, Thank You for Your service, and May God Bless all of You!!!!!!!!!

 

I was at MAC-V HQ from Nov '66-'67. I was in the 266th Army Band. Obviously didn't see much action in that unit, but I traveled the entire country, and played many award ceremonies, and saw a lot of real heroes.
Every Sunday, if I wasn't off on duty, I played at the hospital in Saigon, and saw lives that were forever changed. I saw my share of horror in those young men.

I returned on Nov 7, 1967 and got discharged at Oakland Army Terminal. As soon as I walked off that base, I saw scornful looks at anyone in a uniform. I'll never forget those days.

Here's to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
