For All Vets.

The Coward in Chief is too buys with golf games and campaigning.

Don't forget VACATIONS ROFL!

I just don't understand who did this and how they are going to get away with it. Like another person that replied here, they should take these ashes/bodies of these airmen and do a unknown airman soldiers in Arlington. that would be the LEAST they should do! I see the Prez has not commented on it (OF COURSE!) thanks for commenting from one Vet to another!

Thank you Marylynn I appreciate it getting out. And they always say welcome home and thank you for serving. Well whatever the story is for these airmen, There are MANY horror stories for Viet Nam and Desert Storm also. I saw it first hand and felt the pain after I got out. When I went to get a civilian job after getting out of the military, I was so excited to see what I was able to do in civilian life. Before I went in I was a nurses aide. After Vietnam, I come home showed my credentials of all I had done in the Army and was basically spit on and told I was still a nurses aide. When i asked why, they told me I needed STATE schooling. Even though I held many men in my arms while serving as a medical specialist, I did more than a nurse could ever dream of doing. Imagine taking a ball point pen (government issued) and unscrewing it and using an end for an airway because we did not have a trache device to help a man breathe. But I served, I was trained, and I was nothing when I come home. Somewhere along the line you would think our TRAINING would be recognized. But even today its still not. You still have to go to a State accredited program for whatever you were trained for in the military. People do not realize what we go through. Thats why you see all the homeless vets, vets that can't get jobs. And this has been going on since I went in the military in 1970. And I am sure before me too. thats why I am as open as I am on mylot about some parts of political stuff. I really do want the average person know. thanks again for sending this on to another Vet.

You are very welcome. It is a shame that all of your training did not count. You would think that being in the military and the training would be the best and could be accounted for something. Who ever said that this country was fair when it comes to their Veterans was totally wrong. I graduated from High School in 1970. I know of many boys, young men that went in the service and went to Vietnam. I also remember those that did not make it back home and those that did and there lives were never the same. They served there country proudly, but what was done for them. They still have to wait months if not longer just to get into the Veterans hospitals. They have diseases cause by chemicals used in the wars, etc. It is just not fair to say the least. Thank you for sharing the link. Hugs

I am assuming don't know for sure that families were told they were MIA (missing in action) or POW (Prisoner of War) I genuinely don't know how it could happen. I sincerely got sick when I read it. I was a medical specialist and I know medics that had to be the Morgue runners as we called them within the Army. they had to clean the boys, tag them and place one of the two dogtags to their toe. I remember this so vividly from Vietnam that I can't understand how this happened now. We are supposed to be better than when in the 70's young men went in to escape jail. There is no draft and these men deserve so much better.
