I simply wanted to relay a little story that illustrated how people's attitudes toward soldiers have changed over the past 35 or so years. I don't know what caused it, but I think it's great. I guess the generation of hippies that I grew up with have "finally" matured a little. I saw on someone's signature the other day this saying: "If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in English, thank a Vet". Couldn't be more true. Happy Veterans day to all Vets past and present.

I didnt see it as whining, just stating facts and giving us your life experiences and perspective. We are on the same team, same side..
