[QUOTE="NEFarmwife, post: 1580511, member: 26897"] I am curious how many CT members are veterans? I know formally, today is about those lost during active duty and we also pay respect to our loved ones. I am a daughter of a Vietnam vet. 2 Purple Hearts. He was a tunnel rat (he was the size of a jockey)... and while he didn’t die at war, I believe Vietnam killed him. His family didn’t hear from him till 10 years after he arrived home from Nam, disappearing right after he landed back in the US. It wasn’t until he called to tell his parents that he just had twin daughters (me). I didn’t know growing up, that he was a vet. He didn’t talk about it. Growing up, I wish he was a hero (Superman, etc...) I didn’t realize until I was much older, that he WAS a hero. So thank you, all veterans and those who currently serve! You ARE my heroes! I hope this weekend, will also be a gentle reminder that there are those who’ve returned to us after serving our country, not the same as they left. PTSD is real. [/QUOTE]
