Much of the credit goes to our wives and children that we had left behind.My children were constantly harassed and teased in school because I was in Vietnam.Some of the remarks made to them was that I was going to die.Most males thought that my wife was fare game and and was treated with disrespect. Her neighbor would take potshots at our dog with his BB gun.That stopped when I came home on R&R.My wife would have to disconnect the phone at night because of the constant crank calls.My family received this kind of treatment for the entire year that I was in Vietnam.We will always be thankful for one of her neighbors who helped my wife and children during these hard times.When I returned from Vietnam,our plane landed in Oakland where we were met by protesters with dog p##p and rotten eggs. We were told that if we retaliated, we would spend the night in the stockade.All I wanted to was to go home and be with my family.
