I go down to Pease to meet troops coming home or going over. My Pease Greeters name tag says I am a Viet Nam era veteran ( 1967-1975). When we talk to the troops after they have been welcomed at Pease by a bunch of veterans and others clapping and cheering, and having patriotic music playing, they will often thank us for doing what we do for them, and they know that the Viet Nam era vets did not get that kind of reception.

It is amazing how well acquainted they are with what went on back in the 60's into the 70's.

Thanks to my Viet Nam era veterans, thank you for your service, and thank you for your sacrifices. And a fond remembrance to those who did not make it home.
