I continued to be impressed at the outpouring of support for those serving in the US armed forces by the general public here in the USA.
I have wondered if those times during the Vietnam war, where soldiers were hauranged at the airport by anti-war protesters, have left their mark on this nation. Perhaps there is a feeling of guilt over the injustice of attacking those who were put in the line of fire?
More likley, I think, it is that the generation that did the fighting in Vietnam taught their children & grandchildren to show respect for those who protect our freedom.
Freedom is a fragile thing that comes at a price and as such should be cherished. Let us never take this for granted.
