Were you alive during the Vietnam war?

I applaud our Commander-In-Chief and would proudly serve again, at his direction. It is great to finally have a man hold the office after a 28 year hiatus.

And his wife is such a a refreshing, graceful beauty who has elevated the office of first lady after having it denigrated by the caustic beard Michele/Michael Obama.

Good bless this great nation and God bless Donald Trump.
I don’t understand politician worship.

When Trump was asked which foot had the bone spur, he said he didn't remember. The doctor who wrote him his deferral has two daughters, who both remember him telling them that he faked the deferral for Trump.

No don’t you remember where he said he as fighting STDs in the clubs of NY?

Pretty convenient timing for him on getting all those accolades!

I was 20 in 1972 and a journalism major in college. I followed Nixon's downfall daily in two newspapers and on television.

I didn't go to VN, but I did get tear gassed and clubbed by the cops protesting it.

Clinton has always been a sneaky bastard. Becoming a Rhodes Scholar to get out of going to Viet Nam was just one episode in a long line of his shenanigans.

While Trump faked a boo-boo on his footsie 60,000 brave Americans went to their death and many more came home with permanent life-changing injuries. In a recent Trump interview Trump stated he really didn't like the war in Viet Nam and that it "was just too far away."
It is pathetic to see a cowardly draft-dodger have anything to do with a veterans ceremony of any kind.

Every time I visit a VA medical facility and see our brave veterans missing limbs and feet I am reminded that when they were serving their country Trump was enjoying all the US had to offer.

That was pretty clever of him to be born just at the right time to graduate college and start at Oxford right during the height of the Vietnam war.
