Just wondering now how You feel as some of our friends on this forum have come forth to Thank us for our service that we got scorned for?
Even when we transferred to civilian life we were to be out of uniform in 24 hours not to ever wear it again so even the military was ashamed of us, or was it because they were afraid of our safety.

My thoughts are now ... Who was the lucky ones? The ones that made it back alive? ( and many of those have scars , wounds, missing body parts, and some with much dis figuration that they spent up until now in a hospital somewhere.)
I often think of how the world has changed, how we depend on previous enemy lands and their resources I sometimes believe the ones that never made it back are the lucky ones.
