I note the Combat Infantry Badge and the Purple Heart on your jacket.

Just in case no has done so lately...."Thank You".

I can't tell from the photo...is that a Viet Nam "In Country" citation under the Purple Heart?

It's always been important to me that Vietnam vets realize that many of us who opposed the war did NOT oppose the brave soldiers that fought it. I, for one among many, thank you for your courage, and your sacrifice. Congratulations on your splendid service.

Thanks Jovo, ctscannerand everyone else, I have no problems with those who went, those who protested, even those who went to Canada. My problem is with those who didn't care enough to get involved to the extent of doing something. As usual the chicken hawks dedication stops at the recruiter door.
