[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2936128, member: 807"] I'm an old guy, I was in RVN 1968-69. When I came back, I came through Travis AFB in California. Went through all the protesters outside the base gate being spit on and called all the normal hate names they came up with. My Wife had sent me a U.S. Postal money order to pay for my plane ticket from there back home in Georgia. That was the normal travel arrangement in my unit. I went to the Bank of America there just off base to cash the money order and was called a baby killer and told to get out. Luckily I met my Base Commander from back home as he was en-route to Viet Nam and he gave me the money to buy my ticket home. I promptly took his wife the money when I got home. I still welcome home any RVN Vets that I meet even today. I'm really glad that the younger folks coming back from our conflicts today don't get treated that way. Now if we could just get the VA to do the job they are supposed to we would be much better off. [/QUOTE]
