I salute Ed Sr. and all of our other Vietnam veterans.
There are many on the left who say that the Vietnam War was a tragic "waste." THEY ARE WRONG. The fact is, by demonstrating our resolve to stand firm to defend foreign lands from communist aggression in the 1960s, we may very well have prevented the Soviets from attempting to invade western Europe. While that can never be conclusively proven, I submit to you that it can never be conclusively disproven either.

Didn't know Ed was a LRRP. Hope to see more pics.
Thanks to all for your service in a thankless war. |

I can't even begin to imagine how rough it must've been on the youngsters.
18-19yr olds straight out of the Donna Reed show thrown into a jungle to fight a (REAL) tier 1 infantry force with decades of live-fire experience on their own ground. God bless 'em. The treatment they got (And DIDN'T GET!) at the hands of the American left in the 60's and 70's is a national disgrace. |
