SharonLee Our Vietnam Veterans had a very difficult time coming home. No Patriotic Fan Fare. People turned away from them and they were treated very badly. But today they honor all returning Veterans and make sure none of them will ever be treated as they were. Many are Patriot Guard Riders. As is this Veteran. Very proud of you Frank. Thank you for being such an honorable man and wonderful husband.

SharonLee This is a great photo showing something a lot of people didn't know. The Coast Guard was in the Vietnam War and played very important part. 7 Coast Guardsmen lost their lives and are on THE WALL.
