[QUOTE="donna723, post: 499157, member: 1883"] You're right, DDD. Returning WWII vets were treated like the heros they were. They returned to the full support of the public even though there wasn't a lot of real professional help available to them. Families were probably closer back then too so they got lots of support from loved ones. Vietnam vets were often looked down upon and called "baby burners". Both of my brothers served in Vietnam and to this day, neither one talks about it at all. I'm glad to see that it's being handled differently with the servicemen and women returning from Iraq. We're not that far from the Ft. Campbell military base and the local TV stations provide coverage of every group of returning soldiers, the reunions with their families. [/QUOTE]
