Vietnam Veterans Day

I was in grade school during the Vietnam War. I remember I had a class assignment to interview someone connected with the war. Our neighbor was the wife of a B-52 bomber pilot stationed in Vietnam. I asked her if I could interview her for my project. She took me up on my interview, but the only thing I remember was how many times she cried when I asked her questions about her husband and his role in the war. She lived in a constant state of fear that he would be killed or captured. Even as a child, I remember thinking what a horrible way to live! To all those who served in the Vietnam War, and all those who supported them on the home front, THANK YOU for your service to our country. To all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Southeast Asia, may you eternally rest in the loving arms of our Creator.
