I honestly believe that the ones who we should be thanking are the ones who didnt finish there tour. I know what I was getting into when it volunteer. No thanks needed. Just a good job soldier.( sailor,marine, airman) that all I've ever need. Just saying. Oh and thank you too.

Completely agree, my brother-in-law did not complete his tour in Vietnam. I was one of about 5 Recruit Applicants in my boot class. Everyone else had been drafted. Our DI’s were always quick to remind us “you’re here because you want to be”.
