[QUOTE="stormdancer0, post: 54844639, member: 221130"] We aren't just talking about Vietnam vets, but Gulf war vets, WWII vets, Korean Vets, ALL vets. All who have served, and especially those who have served in war, deserve whatever we can do for them. Losing a spouse or parent through war is a horrible thing. But calling the family's lives "destroyed" implies that without that person, the family is useless, meaningless. I'm sure the widows who raised children alone do not feel that their lives were destroyed. Changed, yes, and not in a good way. But not destroyed. I'd rather have "disingenuous" words and platitudes than total silence. God bless all our vets and active duty warriors. I wish I could give you more than words, and my utmost respect. You certainly deserve it. Bill, Perhaps, if you truly think more of the hippy who spit on you than those of us trying to do right by our soldiers, you should search your heart for bitterness.
