As a Vietnam veteran, I wish to thank the citizens of our great country, not only for myself but also on behalf of all those who have served or are now serving in uniform, whether on active duty or in the National Guard or Reserves.
After so many years with little recognition or respect, especially for Korean and Vietnam vets, it is heartwarming to be thanked for our service to our country. The attention and applause received by service men and women in parades, at public gatherings, the welcome home ceremonies and most recently the outpouring of support for veterans, and especially Vietnam veterans at the Red Sox game, has been overwhelming and greatly appreciated.
Thank you, friends, family and fellow Americans, for your support.
