Lots of facts I didn't know and enjoyed learning something tonight, thanks.
I'm a Viet-era vet but didn't serve there. I got TDY orders for the pull-out but was TDY elsewhere and they were recinded.
I was of the last draftees in 1973. My number was two so enlisted USAF Jan 2, 1973. Only 350 were drafted that last year so who knows.

I had many buddies that served there and some messed up mentally and from wounds there. None of them had a problem with serving but only our gov letting them down.

I have the utmost respect for those that served there and thankful they are finally getting some respect for that but do remember those that opposed our troops.
Two lowlifes did attempt to spit on me and called a baby killer at JFK airport when I rotated back CONUS. I never wore my dress blues again and am a little ashamed at that. Maybe one day I'll march in a parade or something and lend support to my brothers that took my place in Vietnam.
