As a mother of 5 young children when my hubby was called to Desert Storm, I know how it feels to have your loved one go away to war. Luckily, his unit ended up in Germany and came home after 5 months instead of the expected 2 years. Loved the photos that you shared! And the amazing story about the riveter gal. I remember boys that went to school with my 3 year older sister not coming home from Viet Nam. Such a tragedy that they were not treated with the respect they deserved!

This year more than ever before I am feeling so sad that the Vietnam vets weren't welcomed home like the soldiers today. Because the war was so unpopular no one said, "Thank you for your service." Our POW's were heroes regardless of what has been said in recent times. Everyone that served were heroes.

Like your father, he didn't talk of war, but certainly suffered PTSD (clinical depression) through the years following. I have a nephew currently serving as a Marine, and my mother's longtime companion (after my dad's death), who served in the Navy, will celebrate his 91st birthday this coming Monday. It is with honor that we remember all those who served and are serving. Thanks for sharing your story.<br />Rita C at PanoplyRita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.com
