And that there was a lot of negative public opinion about the war at the time, but not a very common experience for other military men to have faced what A-1's family endured. That seems quite the exception to the norm. I remember the hippies coming to town. I thought they were so cool in their painted vans and tie dye shirts ...and there wasn't any one of them that was for the war, but there wasn't any one of them that would have ever said anything bad to a soldier. They would have been more like, "That's cool man..." And left it at that. It is also true that the soldiers from Viet Nam did not come home to a heroes welcome like in WW2. That was not their fault, but again the nation was not supporting the the war efforts there. As to our not finding anything on the google searches we have done, maybe per this topic in the thread, we ought to all first get stoned!!! Then who knows what all we might find??? Anyhow here is Our Stoned Party! OD |
