Perhaps a fitting topic for a 750 word essay?

Hey Clk,
Best ignore the self righteous detractors that may comment. Your sentiments are shared by all decent people.

My suggestion was to honor them further with a longer essay. But I guess that would be asking too much?

Things have come a long way since I got spat on at airports coming home in my khaki uniform, as we were required to do during Viet Nam.

CLK, I'm glad the efforts of your son have been duly recognized, and that he is safely home.

I am sorry for the fact that some who opposed the war forgot to respect those who served who had no choice in the matter nor had anything to do with starting it.

Thanks for your sacrifices and service.

My Grandfather, Father and Son received Purple Hearts and Medals for bravery. I am so proud of them.

Heard that! I got spit on by one of the best looking blondes I ever saw. After that I married a beautiful brunette.
