Reflection of 50yrs ago in Vietnam. I can't get No Satisfaction.

 Late in 1969 I turned 21 in Vietnam.   The majority of us where basically still teenagers up to early 20's.   We either got drafted or joined the military.  Today I look around in my twilight years to see a generation the has no clues about the real world.   A lot of my buddies has passed on. Other like us are suffering the effects of Agent Orange.   Some also from nuclear weapons exposure.  To a the reader of blog. We are your brothers, fathers, grandfathers and grandfathers.  We give the best years of our life to keep America save.   We the Vietnam veteran never got a home coming.  Just spit on by the anti war crowd.  All our home coming where one by one to Detroit, L.A,. Cleveland, Buffalo and Great falls Montana.   Our friends who never serviced us looked at us as we where a little strange or odd.  Some of us never talked about Vietnam.  Other joined veteran groups.  Some of us started the Vietnam veterans group as WW2 vets didn't understand us. 

This video pretty well sums it for us, The Vietnam Vets.   As watch and listen to the music.  Look at the faces, the building that where home.   A lot of these have passed on.  Remember they give they youth for you.  This what the 173 Airborne Brigade and Casper Platoon looked like in from 1965-1971  God bless you guys.
