Iraq is not Vietnam ....
In the Vietnam Conflict, the enemy was 3000+ miles away from our borders. The Iraqi War is fought against an enemy that crossed our borders in 1993 and again in 2001 ......
The landscape may be different, but the horizon is relatively unchanged.
These are the reflections of my experiences as a civilian in Vietnam.
They are recorded for my family ... they are recorded to honor my dad and uncles who served in WWI, WWII, Korea and for the cousins and friends and brother who served in peace-time and in Vietnam .... they are recorded to honor those who volunteered and those who were drafted ... to honor my nephew, my great-niece and hundreds of friends and former students who have served in the Middle East and who continue to serve ... to honor those who returned from one war to fight another ... to honor the civilians who have served .... to honor the men and women who have returned as reflections in the memorials that honor their service .... to honor the service and memory of the civilians who served in Vietnam with the USO, ARC and the Special Services ....
