From Coffee or Die.
In honor of today being a much too late, much-ignored thank you to those who fought in Vietnam and came home to a country that didn't welcome them as they should have for the most part.
Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day.
All my blogs but one will honor them today.
MAJOR GENERAL SALVE H. MATHESON
He participated in D-Day, liberation of Holland, Battle of the Bulge and also helped seize Hitler's Eagle's Nest.
During the Korean War, he had instrumental involvement in the amphibious landings at Inchon and Wonsan.
In Vietnam, he assumed command of the 1st Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division and participated in the Tet Offensive.
And, I notice his name is not on the list of names to pick from as the Confederate-named Army bases are renamed.
