Thanks you for starting this thread, Building 4112. Our Veterans deserve to be remembered and appreciated for their service, sometimes, as we've seen in recent days, at great personal risk.

My hubby was with 3rd Marines, Vietnam combat vet, 1966-1969, in Vietnam, 68-69. He has suffered the effects of Agent Orange ever since. His first son was born with spina bifida, our youngest has cancer, and he is battling cancer himself. Our vets are dying off at a huge rate, so we really do need to thank them while they are still here.

Thank you and your husband. It is shameful the way Vietnam veterans are treated. My prayers are with your family.
My ex was just out of boot camp (Marine Corps) and on leave before going to Quantico for more training when Nixon began pulling the troops out of Vietnam.
I thank all our servicemen/women.
A special thank you to Bill. I will never forget you Bill.
