My salute to Allen J. Lynch who was awarded the Medal of Honor! We did not recognize the country that we came home to, and you could cut the hostility with a Knife. For most of us, these experiences just made us stronger and more determined to succeed.

The hate hurt and still does. Those were very bad times for all of us I pray that never again shall any vet experience what we have in returning from combat after losing many friends and find hatred so rampant in a country I loved and served.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL I appreciate that the CMH awardees are given a modicum of respect! They represent the others who were/are not acknowledged or respected for their service in Vietnam. I know a Riverine Force Coxswain who was so hurt by the reception in San Francisco after landing at ? Travis AFB that he took all of his uniforms, poured gasoline on them and threw a match onto the pile! The local LEOs stopped by and watched.

I received my warm welcome at LAX. I wondered at the time if I would not be better off back in Vietnam with my brothers.

That must be very sobering for the Lake County veterans to remember what they experienced coming home from the Vietnam War SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
I am glad that Army radio operator Allen J. Lynch successfully carried three wounded soldiers to safety and single-handedly protected them from enemy attack in Vietnam and that he was honored with the Medal of Honor for his actions on Dec. 15, 1967.
