Today would have been my Father's 86th birthday. When I was little I thought it was great that they made a holiday for my Dad since he was a Vet.
Being female we didn't talk too much about war, but we did go 'rounds about Vietnam when I grew up.
I do think of Dad and Vets in general with Drink yer glasses empty and Home from the Forest. I have always envisioned Home being about a VN Vet not fitting in when he got back to "the world". No matter my thoughts on the Iraq war, I have all the pride and respect for our service men from all the wars/conflicts they truly are our heroes.
