Not all things are forgotten
Quote From: naperangelI am a viet nam vet and as far back as I can remember, there has always been a problem with the way some of the public has reacted to returning service personnel. The Viet Nam war was the worse for vets and yet to this day they are still being treated unfairly. I feel so for those who come back from overseas and are being led on a wild goose chase. Please tell these service personnel to contact their local American Legion, Disabled Vets, Veterans of Foreign Wars and join. These organizations fight for our vets and are constantly trying to work with legislature to get things done. It is bad enough that our service personnel are over there and defending our country and then coming back here to be treated with disrespect by not getting the help that is needed for them. I agree with you. My Dad served in the Vietnam War and he has problems with headaches and inner ear. He has tried everything and nothing has worked. The VA isn't being very helpful at all either. It is a wild goose chase. It's important to remember and take care of ALL veterans from ALL wars. I feel terribly for those that are in need of assistance (whatever that assistance may be) and get no where. Most, I feel will be "lost in the paperwork".... God Bless!
