A Letter to Vietnam Veterans

Dear Vietnam Veterans,

I am incredibly proud of the service you have done for our country. You went to Veitnam, some by choice, and some by draft, and fought in the most unpopulor war our country has ever been involved with. You went through long hours crouched in the jungle, intense firefights when you didn't know where the enemy was. On top of all of that, you came home to a nation that scorned you. People passing on the street blamed you for the war. They could never know that it was you who hated the war more than anyone else, because it was you who was fighting hopeless battles, and seeing your friends die next to you. And today, America has finally recognized all of the brave men who fought and died in Vietnam with a memorial in Washington D.C. Finally, America has thanked the men and women who had to fight in an unpopular war.

Wil
