NDNation Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 In honor of my Father who was in the Army and served in Vietnam and my Mother who was in the Navy and stationed in San Diego.Thank You to all who served in the past and will serve in the future. Thank you to the families who sacrifice their loved ones, so that we may enjoy freedom and liberty! My father to this day, has never spoken of Vietnam and would never answer any questions about his time over there. He has scars that tell a story, but Ive never heard it from him. ladybug33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, same here My hubby does not like discussing the Vietnam War neither, he spent 2 terms there and he remembers the horrors of this war, what scarfices our citizens make for our country. We should have a month long honoring event for our vets IMO. Thanks for sharing your story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
