Memorial Day, American People!! I am a American Vietnam Veteran having served 396 days in Vietnam!! I went in May of 1965, before they started the big build up in September 1965 and saw why as Union General Sherman stated in the Civil War , "War Is Hell"!!! I had malaria twice and cannot give blood ever since because of the disease!!! I got spayed with "agent orange an d green insecticide for which two years ago it all most killed me!! I lost my hearing totally in my right ear and 90% in my left ear and lost my balance for my body as well and require a walker to walk!! Do you know the federal government still will not give us compensation for being "sprayed with it?? With all of that if they asked me to do it all over again I still would and not change anything because what I did was one of the most proudest moments in my life. It is not just because of "patriotism", but more importantly, because it is the right thing to do for you the American people!!! Many have given their lives for that same simple reason!!! Thank a American veteran and say a prayer for them too for their sacrifice!!!......(Second blog at tumblr.com/commonman1).......
