Has been marked by tremendous variations in the mood of the nation. Americans still have a difficult time in dealing with that war, with its affect on our society and with the legacy of. Hose of us sent to fight it but no one can debate the service and the sacrifice of serving. Fell while that theortunate circumstance by which the more than 2 million veterans returned did not lend itself to the type of welcome given to the veterans of other , or even to those of us who were prisoners in vietnam.
