I would definitely say that this war is A LOT more controversial than Desert Storm. I just hope that the veterans don't get treated like so many did after Vietnam....that really sucked. I actually dug out a pin that I had during Desert Shield/Storm that has a yellow ribbon on it and says "Unitil they all come home."

Amen, as I posted in another thread, many years ago I can remember going to the airport to pick up my father, oh so handsome in his uniform. Standing proud, wanting to see his family that he hasn't seen in 18mths. He looked tired and worn. but there he was, the greatest man in the world to me, my hero, my protector, my father. As he picked me up to hug me and kiss me, some person came up and spit in his face and called him a baby killer. This was done to a person that went and fought for the freedom that we so dearly love. the war was Viet Nam. My father still alive today, is still my hero, my protector and most of all still the greatest man in the world to me. You see I am very lucky to have my father, he was an M.I.A. missing in action for 6mths found in an hospital with no memory of who he was half of his mouth missing due to being shot. I dont want war as no one does. But I support the soldiers and our President during these hard times. My prayers are in my heart for all .
