As a Viet Nam era veteran, I can tell you that the acknowledgment by your fellow Citizens can make a great deal of difference. Most of us don't need the approbation; we saw our duty and were glad of a chance to serve our Country,and that is it's own reward, but the fact that the general populace recognizes that service means that we did our duty in a manner that honors all those that paid the ultimate price in doing that service and they did not die in vain.

So girls, hug a Veteran today, and men, give them a hearty handshake and a "job well done".

UPDATE: Thanks to George Mellinger for this stirring salute to all veterans.
