Vietnam veterans make up a large number of retired military personnel. These war heroes served through years of the Vietnam War but, because of its unpopularity, many were not welcomed home with enthusiasm. In fact, some were actually booed or otherwise derided. Today, of course, they are recognized as the patriots and heroes that they are. If your parents were in the military, there's a good chance they were involved in Vietnam in some way. Even those who weren't sent overseas were worried about the conflict.
There are a lot of different ways Vietnam veterans are honored today. Some people fly the U.S. flag from a pole in their front yard or from a short pole on the back of their motorcycle. This is a great way to show your respect and honor for all veterans and military personnel. To do something a little more specific, you can wear a Vietnam veteran patch. If your father was in the war, the In Memory of My Father Vietnam War Vet patch is a great choice. It includes an embroidered version of the honors bar given out to veterans of Vietnam.
Many Vietnam veterans are now elderly, and some have passed on. If you've lost your veteran father, there's no better way of honoring him than by wearing this patch every day. It's a way of keeping his memory alive, and it gives you a way to do so on a daily basis.
