That opinion piece was featured in this episode of the podcast. The key element expressed in the piece read as follows: “As this important day approaches, we need to find ways to celebrate these veterans, the sacrifices they made, and the physical and emotional scars they continue to bear for answering our country’s call to duty.”

Thoughts and ideas such as this expression of good will in the piece is wonderful and comforting news for all Vietnam Veterans.

Some soldiers were condemned instead of celebrated.”
