Why does this bother you? I don't see it bothers you this much when Muslims want the school district to recognize their religious holiday. (Muslim holidays don't bother me by the way.)
It is not like these Vietnam veterans are hurting anybody. It is not like they are asking you for your donation. What is the big deal huh?
It's just pandering, if they want to do some good then let's see something substantial.

Why is this in the politics forum.
I was ONLY asking you why does it bother you when they are not hurting anybody.
why acting like a bully? sheesh Let them have their day. What is the big deal? It is not like that any of them are demanding "Hey, give us a holiday and make a donation." lol Maybe they are just happy that this nation finally realized that veteran scapegoating is wrong. I don't think any of them are saying, we had it harder, so we ought to be treated differently. lol Geeze, some of you here really need to leave others alone. It is not like they are disrespecting OTHER veterans. Many still need closure, many are still battling with the past, many need to deal with the past in order to live in the "now." and admit it or not, veteran scapegoating is still happening today, just look at the protesters in front of va hospital. (yeah, maybe a group of 4-10 losers, every once in a while, but they are still there.) (They obviously don't have the balls to protest in front of Marine Corps base. LOL so they choose VA hospital. How convenient, How brave all these social justice warriors!! )
Trust me, we all know who are the true anti-war hero, who just want their 15 minutes of fame.

Why do the Vietnam guys have to be special little flowers who get their own day? Just be vets like the rest of us. Sorry for what happened to you guys and sorry the nation didn't give you the honor and respect you deserved for your service, but that was then and this is now.
Well again, you come off like this is taking something away from you. I myself see nothing to complain about. Guess that's just me.
Why do Draft dodgers and hippies need redemption? They didn't do anything wrong.
Do an internet search for it.. there are plenty of comments by people who have guilt/and or apologized for what they themselves consider despicable behavior in the treatment of returning Vietnam soldiers
I like Veterans' Day because of it brings the generations of service members together. I usually go to a parade on Veterans' Day. Last year, I was talking to a guy in his 20s who was still on active duty and was marching in the parade with his unit. I asked him if he considers himself a veteran. (Like me, he has multiple deployments under his belt to Iraq and Afghanistan.) He looked confused by the question and said no, veterans are old and looked at the guys with the Vietnam and Korean era hats on around us (sadly, no World War II vets around much these days... or very, very few) and said it was about them.
I bet 30 years from now or so he'll be standing on a sideline somewhere watching current vets march by and remembering when he was young and the guys he served with. I think this is great.

Recognizing Vietnam Veterans is a little too late, none of this will resolve the issues you indicated.
