Many of those vets that were fortunate to come and lead a productive life are either approaching retirement or have already retired. They are your airline pilots, your firemen and policemen, your teachers and your doctors. Unfortunately, too, they are a large bulk of our homeless and mentally ill. Compared to the equipment and support our boys are currently receiving in Iraq and Afghanistan, these heroes from the 60's and 70's were practically fighting with rocks and spears (in comparison only). I was too young for Vietnam and too old for this war, but by God I think of these men and women everyday and thank them, along with my Lord, that they do what they do to keep us free. They die on these foreign battlefields to protect the "rights" of the idiots out there burning flags and insulting our President(s).I just had the sudden urge to right this after reading about the pilot of the U.S. Airway "Miracle On The Hudson". We have very few of our WWII heroes left among us, and we will be losing our Vietnam heroes soon as well. We must not forget their sacrifices.
