Proud till the end to be Vietnam vet
Why is it that Vietnam veterans still seem to be reluctant to acknowledge who they are? I look at the obituaries every morning, and, it seems that all the other veterans state who they served with. But most veterans in a certain age group just have the flag next to their name, and that’s all. I’m proud of being a Vietnam veteran, and when it’s my time, it’ll be in my obituary.
