I wish more people had had this sentiment when I was returning from Viet Nam. I was once cursed at and spat upon in an airport. Someone even threw a full Coke can at me from a passing car while I was hitchhiking. Not by everyone of course, but by more people than one would have thought likely.But that’s OK, I’m not complaining (even though it sounds like I am). I was doing what I thought was right and I try to tell myself that those people felt they had good reasons for doing what they did. Freedom of speech and expression is one of the things veterans try to protect.Hug a vet today. And every day.
