Just was talking to my BIL, a Vietnam veteran.

3. my dad died a month ago, he was a

radio operator on a PBY during WW2 in the south pacific. He never talked about it.

My sister recently got a package of military items that he saved over the years, she's mailing me copies of his

decorations and service record.

Now we have so many vets returning from Afganistand and Iraq, so many that are committing suicide, so many that

will be tossed to the curb after the "feel good about protecting our freedom" speeches.
