Today I’ve spent the whole day watching THE BAND OF BROTHERS! Thousands of Germans killed, thousands of our loved ones killed and even more wounded! I didn’t see the green body bags we had in VIETNAM! I was deployed to unit that either assisted our troops in battle or afterwards went in a pickup all are dead. Took them back to the Valley Forge ship and stacked them in the freezers! Then a week or two latter read in the Stars and Stripes paper the story government put out how successful our military had been and very few casualties were suffered , all lies! All 57,000 plus that paid the ultimate price in VIETNAM l thank each of you and your families on this day! God Bless your families and you’ll never be forgotten!
