I'm from the Vietnam generation. I didn't serve.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I took command in Vietnam, I gave great emphasis to food and medical care - and to the mail.
I was drafted during the Korean War.
I lied about serving in Vietnam, and I'm sorry. I did not mean to take away from the actions and the sacrifices of the ones who did really serve there... I did steal valor. That was very wrong of me. There is no real excuse for that.
My father is American and deserted the Vietnam War.
Anyone graduating from medical school in 1966 had first to fulfill military service before launching a career. Fiercely opposed to the Vietnam War, I sought to avoid it through an assignment to the Public Health Service.
For the record, I'm a Second World War veteran and served in the Pacific.
I've served my country.
I served two tours of duty in Vietnam. I won the Bronze Star. I won the Purple Heart.
I went to Vietnam; it was my first assignment as a reporter for the UPI, and I never could get away from the war.
I'm a Vietnam veteran. I was here when there was no public support, not just for the effort in Vietnam, for the mission in Vietnam, but for our men and women in uniform.
