When coming home in 1967 after discharge it took 4 days to fly from SC to the west coast. I kept getting bumped by the college deferment students flying home for summer vacation on student rates. Finally had enough in Denver & tried to buy a first class ticket home. The counter girl got me on the next flight.

My dad served in Korea. My son’s father and one of his brothers served in Viet Nam.

We did our best. We were young, yet we severed our country and some of us died. I remember them all.
Every time I look up at the blue sky I wish they could see what I see.
God, look after all our fallen friends. May they rest in peace.

I am not a veteran. But I am a persistent talker by profession. This and the help of professionals has allowed me to successfully direct several friends and forum friends towards benefits!

I'm a day late, but the sentiment is the same. Thank you to all who served this country. The news report below is about ABC newscaster Bob Woodruff's organization which helps veterans. The CEO of Craigs List just made a 200 million donation to veterans' causes. 25 million will go to Bob Woodruff's foundation. Video included:

Vietnam, the Gulf wars. We did our duty and served our country. Don't want praise. Want to find a job, raise our family and hope that someone can look at our credentials and say, yeah hire him or her.
A veteran has to more to offer than a college graduate simply because they have been thru the training, served their time. Been thru the experience and has more to offer an employer than anyone else.
