52 years ago, I was a HS Sophomore, just trying to keep my old car running and get girls to show me their etchings.  Both were only a partial success.

It may be cliché now, but back then they were vilified... no respect or thanks given.  A sad commentary of the times.

Yup, sadly true.... Been trying to counter that for a while now... Me, on my dad's shoulders, Spring of 1973 welcoming (I've heard troops, and I've heard POW's, not sure exactly) back from Vietnam at Lackland AFB... Evidently, we pretty much WERE the welcoming committee...

Thank you all for your service and I’m happy you were home safe.

The summer of ‘69…I was 4 years old. I have memories of my childhood but I can’t say I actually remember 1969. Where did the time go? Huh?
