A Minnesota PBS Initiative
A Honor for all Vietnam vets
I am a Combat veteran of Vietnam with no related issues until now. No one has ever asked me about what I did or why. I sleep well at night. But now, the Minnesota Twins have given me the honor of raising the American flag on June 21st as part of there way of thanking all veterans. I'm not sure I deserve this honor or even if I can do it. Now, looking back, I'm not sleeping so good. I will try my best to do it, not for myself but for all Vietnam vets.
