Thank you, Blackjack-21, for posting this moving stroy. Do you know what city the plane was flying out of? I doubt it was in the heavily anti-military San Francisco Bay area, where the troops more likely would have been met with uncomfortable silence or scattered boos from the locals on the plane.</font>

Some 30 years ago, when perhaps the anti-militarism was even more so, about a week or so after the US withdrawal from Vietnam, a couple of buddies and I, in army uniforms, went into a coffee shop (the Copper Penney near the Geary Blvd Sears, both gone now) and were greeted warmly with "welcome home, boys".
