My dad was the only one drafted from the little hick town i grew up in Louisiana. I once saw a few medals in the shed in a box and the scrap book with it that had him/his platoon and the Vietnamese soldiers they worked with them in the jungles there. Only talked about Vietnam one time while we were traveling up the mountain in Montana. Talked about putting his friends in body bags. Will never forget that conversation and what those surviving guys still have to deal with. Really think this Holiday is one of the most important ones that real Americans should stop and think about.
