00:05.698 --> 00:07.889
- [Narrator] There were no parades, no thank you for your

00:07.889 --> 00:10.287
service, none of the things you would see for troops

00:10.287 --> 00:12.724
coming home after the World Wars.

00:12.724 --> 00:14.762
Our service men and women were give the worst kind of

00:14.762 --> 00:16.536
treatment when they came home.

00:16.536 --> 00:18.887
Many of our service members did not go willingly.

00:18.887 --> 00:21.921
They did not go with flags waving but they went

00:21.921 --> 00:24.052
and though it took half a century,

00:24.052 --> 00:26.828
Vietnam era veterans are finally receiving long overdue

00:26.828 --> 00:30.915
recognition for their tremendous service and sacrifice.

00:30.915 --> 00:32.912
These brave men and women demonstrated their character

00:32.912 --> 00:35.777
and values by wearing the uniform and serving the nation

00:35.777 --> 00:36.610
they love.

00:37.207 --> 00:39.268
It is only fitting that at this year's airshow,

00:39.268 --> 00:41.788
Marine Corp Air Station Miramar and the Third Marine

00:41.788 --> 00:44.223
Aircraft Wing honor their brothers and sisters with

00:44.223 --> 00:46.227
a salute to Vietnam veterans.
