Today, we observe Vietnam Veterans Day. And, we must also remember those whose names are on the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. The ones who never returned home after paying the ultimate sacrifice. The numbers of those that were lost are too hard to even comprehend. "Approximately 2,700,000 American men and women served in Vietnam. ... It was the first time America failed to welcome its veterans back as heroes. Many veterans were attacked personally by their fellow countrymen, who opposed the war. This situation magnified the stress associated with their combat experiences. Also contributing to the stress many veterans experienced was the lack of unit cohesiveness as many were sent to Vietnam as individuals and left when their year's tour was completed. They often traveled to and from Vietnam by air, being an active combatant one day and a veteran returning to a hostile civilian environment the next. They reported being spat upon as they disembarked at the airport and being uncomfortable wearing their uniform in public." Semper Fidelis See more
