   Bill M., Anne S.—Glad you made it home. And here’s to Bobby D., who came back, but only for a little while.

   To all who were there, thank you.

   I was on board the USS John F Kennedy CVA 67 from 72 – 75. I would like to thank all that serviced, especially those that serviced then when it was not popular. When we were spat upon in airports and called baby killers. I am glad we no longer blame the serviceman or woman for the actions of the government! God bless the Veteran past and present!!
