Default March 29’th - Vietnam War Veterans Day.



Today, March 29’th is Vietnam War Veterans Day.
Too many Veterans of this war are sadly not given the respect they so deserve.
Here in Canada, much is still misunderstood, especially for the some 40,000 young Canadians who stepped up and joined US Forces to fight when Canada as a country wouldn’t, their Veteran status here is unrecognized today.
Here’s to those who gave their all, whether they made it home or not.

~ Pete

Pete, I was not aware that the Vietnam service of my Canadian brothers in arms has not been recognized in their home country. That is a shameful travesty. If you know any Canadian Vets, please give them my thanks.

Pete and Tom, I am touched by your kind words..thank you

Thanks to ALL our service men and women. Freedom isn't free. Never has been. Never will be.

And a special thanks to those from the VN era who, as Pete alluded to, were historically the least appreciated of all our Vets. Did not know that about the Canadians. I echo the above sentiment: "If you know any Canadian Vets, please give them my thanks."

Well said, Pete. Respect to all who served and sacrificed ,especially those whose contributions have gone unrecognized.
