Thank you for explaining the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Anyone who thinks a little can understand the difference, but I haven't thought about it yet.
The American cult is impressive for the army and its soldiers. And for veterans (I think there are nuances here, I'm only talking now about the information I took from the movies) ... according to those movies many veterans from Vietnam and Iraq were less supported. Movies like "Coming Home" or "Born on the Fourth of July" and even "The Deer Hunter." This is probably an exception.
Your blog is inspirational and the story certainly has many references to your family.
Excellent photo with the woman and the girl reading the name on the Wall. It seems to me to be a family photo. Wrong?

Not a family photo, but, a grandmother and grandchild.
The movies you mention, I am familiar with. Vietnam was less supported by people. mostly the youth and some soldiers spat upon when returning home. Keep in mind, we had a draft then and many were selected for service, others were volunteers. My uncle was spat upon in a train for invading another country, my father was a hero in his town. It depends where you were.
The draft stopped long ago and now it is an all-volunteer military for some time now. Those who are in should want to be there and those who are against it do not need to be.
Rolling Thunder and many other riding clubs were huge supporters of the military and many in the club had been enlisted to service.
Thanks for the explanations! I understand now.
I explained it badly, but, I hope you do understand!
