Show Your Gratitude with a Sign

Thank you for posting the link.
People definitely need to separate there political and philosophical view from the undeniable fact that U.S. military personnel literally put their lives on the line to keep
ALL of us safe.
I never want to see military personnel treated like they were when they returned from Vietnam.
That was a national disgrace in my opinion.
Many people were too ignorant/stupid to separate the war itself from the service of the military personnel who had no choice in the matter (and didn't run to Canada).
I feel we as a nation were stupid to get into Vietnam but that in no way diminishes the service of our military personnel. Many people seem to forget that in our country the military is ultimately controlled by the civilian leaders and not the military leaders.
Also, as much as I admire John F. Kennedy he is the one who got us into Vietnam in the first place (Eisenhower's role was minimal).
I am jumping off the soapbox now.
I am wishing a joyous holiday and a safe New Year to all of our military personnel around the world who are helping to keeping us safe.
