It all changed during DS #1.

In the 1970s I was in uniform and I saw the brunt of American hatred for servicemembers.

I was still on Active Duty during DS #1 and I was amazed at the change of attitude.

The former vets that went thru that ridicule back in the 60s and early 70s made sure those serving in DS and after were highly appreciated.

To all the vets out there, a heartfelt thanks for your service. Even though we only have one day set aside for it, we obviously think of it often. If not for you, we might not have been able to vote this week.

As Americans we have a responsibility to remember the sacrifices .... and foster democratic values.

An interesting story about the Vladslo German war cemetery shown in the video. The sculptor of "The Grieving Parents" was Kathe Kollwitz, whose son was killed in WWI and is buried in that cemetery. The eyes of the father figure rest on the gravestone bearing her son's name. Webmatters : Soldatenfriedhof Vladslo
