Complaints about compensation

Hello, I am a Viet Nam war Veteran and fellow american. I don't
understand the complaints about any compensation to be received. I
served our country in a very unpopular war. 50,000 americans died in
that war and don't remember any "Headlines" about any families receiving
compensation, just headlines about POW's and MIA's. You are lucky to
have someone offering you any type of compensation. I will offer you my
condolenses. I am very sorry for any losses during that awfull and
cowardly act. Please, let's put things in perspective! Besides my
family, I have be told thank you only once. That was by a complete
stranger who overheard a conversation about conditions in Viet Nam. I
cried when this stranger shoke my hand and said "Thank You."

A fellow american.
