This homecoming segment touched my heart and brought back memories of my return from Vietnam.
Returning from Vietnam was hardly a Rockwell moment…..I was discharged at my port of entry…Travis
Air Force Base in California. The discharge desk required all returning service members to change out of their uniforms and dress in their civilian clothing to avoid being attacked by anti-war protesters in the streets
of San Francisco…times had changed since World War II…..no calls of “ thank you for your service” were
heard during or after the Vietnam War.
