I don't for a moment want others to come home as I did from Nam in '69. But I cannot partake in these greetings at the DFW airport. I don't know why. I live in Dallas. I just cannot be a part of this program. When I came home from Nam in '69, we were greeted with a picket line. The people walking the line were calling us baby-killers, throwing us the finger and trying to spit on us. I hold more resentment for the American People that treated me that way than I do for the North Vietnamese and Vietcong that were trying to kill me. I understand the position of those in Nam trying to kill me. I do not understand why after serving my time over there, I was greeted home the way I was. Bill Self
