Shades of the late 60's and early 70's when Vietnam vets were spit upon and called "baby killers." It would be nice if those so opposed to our military could divorce themselves from the freedoms and national interests they protect. But regrettably our constitutional system allows them to benefit from the actions of the military they abhor.
I hope you're right that that generation and thinking spells it's own end...but I fear that is overly optimistic.
I for one thank every military person I encounter for their service. In fact I had the opportunity to do so recently when I met a young wounded marine, still recovering from nerve damage.
I'll also use this opportunity to invite any boat owners and charter captains to participate in the Vets Fish Ptown (free fishing trips for vets and families) on June 4. This was a program started by Rich Wood of Nelson's Bait and Tackle. Let me know if you want details and contacts...I'll happily provide them.
