[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2154388, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Thanks Dennis. I've now copied and pasted all of your first entry into a Word document to add to other Vietnam War data. A lot of that, I had not known, and a special thanks for actually naming the nurses who sacrificed as well. I'm a U.S. Army veteran that served from January 1966 to October 1969 (early out.) I am NOT a Vietnam veteran as I was part of a group, sort-of military intelligence, that was into top secret stuff. I remember being told after going through a course of study for a "new system" that with the knowledge and training that we had, we would NEVER see duty in a combat area. So, my duty overseas was over 1 1/2 years in Pakistan, in an area now known as the Federally Administered Tribal Area, and at that time was considered a hardship tour, even for the Pakistani Army soldiers. FATA is now a hotbed for Al-qaeda and the Taliban. Pakistan taught me my first lessons about Islam and the evil that it can be. Since Vietnam, I've never been able to bring myself to watch any of the movies about the Vietnam War as I figure that they aren't portrayed truthfully anyway, so I spend my time looking at photos from the war and reading. I've always had a deep respect for those that actually saw Vietnam, and I constantly watch for clues such as tattoos, patches, and baseball caps indicating that the bearer is a veteran. They then get my thanks. Thanks to all of you who served "in-country," and may any demons you carry give you some peace, knowing that the Vietnam veterans are finally getting their "due." The United States never lost that war....the news media simply surrendered. God bless you all as well as all the families of the veterans. Welcome home. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
