Good Morning MS,
I completely agree with you. I know, that until the day my dad passed away, he was haunted by what he saw over in Vietnam. I am thankful to be able to walk down the street and know that my freedoms have been protected for so long and by people I will probably never meet. One of the guys who lives here in the apartment, is a veteran from Afghanistan. His cousin was telling me what this guy has gone through and why he will wake up all hours of night, screaming. My dad and grandfather, were veterans of the Vietnam and WWII wars, respectively. When my dad passed away, the soldiers who come to represent the US government, handed my dad's burial flag to me. I remember, my knees buckled out from underneath me, and someone caught me. Back in February of this year, my middle brother returned that flag back to me. My oldest brother hid it from all of us one night, while he was drunk. We don't know what happened to my grandfather's burial flag because of this. I have a lot of respect for our veterans and most of the homeless people here in Orlando, are veterans. That is why, I always donate money to this Veterans group and I am proud to say, that I am US citizen..
Have a good day,
Zimmy
