RETURNING IRAQI SOLDIERS
I was on a very crowded plane from Dallas to Omaha. Three soldiers returning from Iraq were on the plane. About 20 minutes before we landed the stewardess got on the loudspeaker and said some very complimentary things about the soldiers and their service to America. The passengers clapped. At the end of the flight everyone sat while the soldiers got off first. Again everyone clapped. I have never seen anything like this before. It is certainly much different from the Vietnam era.

Do you have any specific memories from the Vietnam era of how soldiers coming home were treated?
I'd never heard of that happening either. I'm sure it made the soldiers' day. :D
