  "I was proud that I did it, and I'd do it all over again. Certainly you don't do it for the pay. It's an honor to serve our Country."
  – Charlie Duree
  
  Many have come to recognize how poorly the Vietnam veterans were treated upon their return. Today, rightly, that has been increasingly acknowledged, and so many efforts made to show the appreciation they should have received in the 60's and 70's. As Charlie so correctly states, his feelings are that the Vietnam veterans performed and did well with the job they were given. He goes on to testify that the young Marines, 18 and 19 years old, took it seriously, and did a good job. We couldn't agree more.
