That's mighty kind of you, James S., but you can add one more to the group of Vietnam "Era" veterans who would be extremely uncomfortable being called a Viet Nam vet. I'm proud of what I did, and while I served during the Viet Nam war, I did not serve in the Viet Nam war. One of the founders of Vietnam Veterans of America tried to talk me into joining, but the way I see it, that would just be wrong.
