 Ken it is a shame how both Korea Era and Nam Era vets were treated. Neither of my grandfathers were in WW2 but there brothers (Great uncles) were and great great uncles were in WW1. My dads family line has been in North America going back to the late 1690's and have had members in every war in that time to now. Dad one of 5 brothers was in both Korea and Nam and his 4 brothers served also 3 in Nam and older brother injured in Korea.

The statement of combat is hell can not really be known unless you have seen it. I'm a Coldwar vet and was in the Navy. Sadly I did see some hell and don't care to or like talking about it. Many vets are that way some do talk about it though. I have allot of respect for all who served but also know not all can or are meant to serve and that is fine. There is no dishonor in that. Just as each component of a watch has a function so dose each person in life and it's not the same for every component or person. ;)
