40 Years Ago

This was copied from FB:

Forty years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left Vietnam. The date holds great meaning for many who fought the war or otherwise lived it. WELCOME HOME!

In this March 29, 1973, file photograph, the American flag is furled at a ceremony marking official deactivation of the Military Assistance Command-Vietnam (MACV) in Saigon, after more than 11 years in South Vietnam.

I want to say to All My COTEP Friends who Served in NAM,

Welcome Home My Friends this is something we Seldom Heard,

Thanks to all our brothers and sisters who served there. A special thanks to our COTEPers. 19 young men from my hometown gave their all. RIP

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Yes thank you all. You didn't get the respect you deserved many years ago.

A big THANK YOU goes out to all our men and women who served in any war!!!

And to our Viet Nam veterans another big THANK YOU as it seems like you were criticized for your service instead of being thanked.
