RE: What You Need To Know About Telling Veterans "Thank You" on Veterans Day - A Veteran's Perspective
@rodeo670.
This is the second time I have ran across you on Steemit, the first time was when you were cautioning a young man from California who seemed obsessed with the military and was thinking about joining. I hope he sees this post of yours.
I never served, but lost several friends to the after effects of the Vietnam war. I also commented on that young mans posted and urged him to heed your advice, I hope he followed you to read this more detailed explanation.
Until next time,
@sultnpapper
Thank you so much for reading my post! I really appreciate that you took the time to leave your two cents, too! I think I do vaguely recall the interaction you're referring to, it must have been like two or three weeks ago, right? I'm so sorry to hear about your Vietnam veteran friends. A lot of the same treatment that Vietnam vets got after coming back home from the war is very similar to the treatment that we get after coming home today. But I feel like the Vietnam vets definitely had it way harder than we do today. I, too, hope that kid whose post I commented on at least did some research into my advice.
Thank you again!!
