Welcome home, brother.

A military honor guard carries an American flag-draped coffin with the remains of a U.S. soldier missing in action from the Vietnam War during a repatriation ceremony at Hanoi's international airport, Vietnam, on Monday, Oct. 18, 2004. About 1,800 servicemen remain missing from the Vietnam War, which ended in 1975.

Strange. Smirky McFascist apparently allowed this photo. Hmmm... Wonder why. :eyes: Oh... "Hanoi's international airport." Well, this'll get 'em on the honor roll of the Axis of Weevils.

1. Wow almost 30 YEARS after it ended.....30 f'ing years

Leaving any one behind for that long...??? It baffles me beyond words. One war touches another :cry:

Welcome home soldier. A long, L-O-N-G over due welcome home. I'm SO sorry it took SO long to bring you home. RIP now, you're home.

2. a sad welcome back and farewell for our brother

God bless all of our men/women who have given their lives.
JohnKerry and others spoke out to Save American lives back in 1971
how anyone could question motives of speaking the truth is beyond
all reason.

3. welcome home

I'd also add a wholly inadequate "thank you" to his family.

How sad we have learned so little as a species and as a nation after paying such a heavy price for our experience.

4. I am in tears for the loss

Then and now. This is so sad.
