[quote=Anonymous]Here's my little PSA:

If you have never served in the military, but want to honor those who have, I urge/beg/encourage you to watch Ken Burns series on Vietnam. http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-vietnam-war/episodes/

It is a commitment of time, but it's the least we can do for those who DO serve.  DH (ret. AF) and I recorded this series last fall.  Some of it is hard, some of it is confusing (Vietnamese names of places), but it was really a 360 view of the war (they speak to Viet Cong, North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese, US military who volunteered, those who went to Canada, the siblings/parents/wives left behind, etc.)  They used the words of our leaders, including tapes of them speaking to show what their understandings were at the time.  (spoiler:  sickening).

I feel that the best way to honor those who serve(d) is to know history and to make decision that will keep them out of harm's way whenever possible.  Prior to watching Ken Burn's Vietnam, the only things I knew about Vietnam came from "Good Morning, Vietnam" and "Forest Gump" and the like.  I urge you to take the journey.
