  • I respect your opinion Rick and appreciate you standing in memory of all who have served (like myself) and those who have died. I think comparing is important because we wonder why so many who return from modern wars have so many lasting side effects like TBIs and unexplained cancers. The psychological traumas that modern warfare inflicts on those who serve is greater now than in passed conflicts because of the lack of downtime while in theater and the multiple deployments that this generation is asked to do makes warfare much harder on the soldiers today. War is a horrible thing and I hope future generations never have to experience it but we are doomed to repeat history if we do not learn from it.

    • THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TEXASBOB, this is a sad holiday for me.  I have had the pleasure 3 times this month referring a Nam Vet to a retreat that is not well known  that’s free. 1200 acres, horseback riding, fishing, and therapists, it is for any vet coming home , or is home and has PTSD and or brain injury.  I have been involved in numerous events to help our vets , and have raised thousands for wish lists and boxes I’ve sent to the front lines. Some I’ve known as children. Most are complete strangers.  It’s something I feel real good inside about ,and the least I can do for the sacrifices our soldiers have made.   Good day to you.

        • You bet!!    once I went to a 600 motorcycle ride event that was raising money for the lost soldiers children.  Called Legacy fund. Free college for child.   It was thru the American Legion.   I’m telling ya , I could HEAR those bikes comming for miles.  When they arrived and every single one of them had a American flag on the back of there bike waving.   And the roar of all those engines.... made the hair stand up on your neck.    Ps. They raised 3 million.
