From a Vietnam era vet who was never in country: I salute all vets who were. Spending significant time in uniform in a college town in the late Vietnam years, I witnessed way too much disrespect for vets and for those in uniform. About the only place in town one could feel comfortable going to have a drink in uniform was the American Legion post. What a breath of fresh air it is to hear people say "Thank you for your service" when I'm wearing something that identifies me as a vet.
