What a More glorious these Days than to come Home to a nation that Waits for its sons and daughters with open and grateful arms its been More than 20 years since i returned from Vietnam a 20 years after being spit upon for serving my country. Lately though it seems like yesterday. The Vietnam memorial we had to beg for resembles a giant wound in the Side of America. It glaringly reminds me How foolish and wasteful War can be a a Monument to 58,000 dead soldiers and countless wounded whose physical and emotional scars Long since blurred together a Monument to some of our veterans who still have not come Home. It s my Hope our Vietnam memorial will serve As a testament to Many of our desert storm soldiers who never Learned How violent War can be or what its like to be on the losing Side.

To their great credit they did. I also wondered if the people of America would support our leaders when they committed our troops to Mit itary action. To their wonderful credit they did. Then with All the military people coming Back Home i wondered if the people of America would regard them As warriors or Call them baby killers. To my admiration the american Public is regarding the returning military forces As warriors come Home. So much is being done to Welcome these warriors Home it brings tears of happiness to my eyes.
