Vietnam POWs

[Al_Smith]

Although because I was a fast attack sub sailor during that period the actual location of where I served is still classified.  I'm still not at liberty to say until this very day. I'm a life member of the VFW .

It was a turbulant time,social unrest .Members of the armed forces were not treated real kindly .That general attitude was finally changed  during the first gulf war .

I carry no bitter attitude of the treatment of the past.I only say the young men and women who serve in our armed forces today need all the support we didn't get .

When you go to the V F W in town here you will see her face everytime you use the urinal.

The VA Beach chapter also had her face plastered in them, too. Most appropriate! ;)

I will never forget coming into Travis AFB from RVN, going to SF airport to fly to KC, MO, in Mar, 1970, and getting spit on by long haired kids.  I am so proud of the people today.  It is wonderful to see how vets are treated today.  Love it.

Seeing a guy wearing a Vietnam Vet Cap and telling him "Welcome Home" generally brings a smile.
