I say: "What a great gesture!"

What do you think of this? I'm anticipating a BIG thumbs-up!

Definitely some good stuff. I try to thank the Vietnam era service-members when I see them. I'm glad to see some of these bases like Irwin, Campbell, Hood and Lewis are doing something for long ago vets.

Did any of you read the article in stars and stripes in regards to a VA study shows parasites from Vietnam may be killing Veterans that served there.

I suggest anyone that served in country there read this.
