Live Stoner Chat Memorial Day weekend

[F.N.]

To all the Vets out there. And especially to the FALLEN who fought for the rights we have today. Thank you so much

Yep. I never got into combat myself (number 185 in the 1969 draft lottery) but I had high school friends who had to go. They told me what it was like. I was so glad I never had to be in 'Nam. Most of them said smoking pot was was the only good thing about being in the field.
Some came back in bags. I got a flag flying for them. Bobby, Chris, Jerry, etc.

Most of my PTSD centers around guilt I feel for returning home when so many good friends did not. Memorial Day is the worst day of the year for me, I can still see their faces when I close my eyes. I visited the Vietnam Wall once & it almost killed me....

I was never in the military, a few bad choices when I was younger put paid to me joining the armored air corps as all I wanted to do was fly helicopters. A good few of my friends joined some did their tours of Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Thankfully no one I know has not come home so i don't know the feeling of that kind of loss.
Here in the UK we do not have a Vets day, the only way we really remember our fallen ones is Armistice day.
I have the greatest respect for anyone who has served and will go out of my way to help, we have so many homeless ex soldiers our so called Government should be ashamed
So to all the fallen Heroes and to those that made it home safely "Here's to you and the sacrifice you have given so we may live freely today"
Much respect to all
