Times of Change: Born on the Fourth of July, Stop the Sun, and To Heal a Nation

To the Dear Men and Women on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial:

Thank you. Thank you for all you did for our nation. You fought during tough times, you fought when many opposed the war, opposed you. And yet you still found a way to fight. You had to, and you did.
Thank you. Thank you for taking the blows. You had to be the brave ones, many of you were forced into it withouht a choice. And yet you still found a way to be brave. You had to, and you did.
Thank you. Thank you for going through all you did. You had to experience so many difficult things, which we will never understand, will never be able to repay you for. And yet you still found a way to survive.You had to, and you did.
Thank you. Thank you for being the heroes. You had the unsung victories and the
unacknowledged defeats. And yet you still found a way to be our heroes. You didn't have to, but you did.
Thank you.

With Love,
Your Country
