Were you there?

My question is if you were not there Why now are we dredging up the PAIN American Service men and wemen went through back then. I was spit on called a baby killer. Not by the enemy but my own People. Many of my comrades are still suffering Today and not all from the WAR. They still can't get over our own people who Did Not know what really went on. Had the gaul to treat use like the enemy. Rather the woriers who came home from a WAR we did not cause. Rather people who came to the call of OUR COUNTRY. We were returning home to what we felt was our Home. It's over let it lay.
