Great man. Great interview. Some of it is absolutely heartbreaking. You realize these guys sacrificed not only a year of their lives but it followed them around everday when they came home.
Imagine the illegal immigrants flooding our boarders who know nothing about U,S history or the sacrifices our brave veterans made. Sad.
To give what they did and be treated Second Rate back at home..
This interview would have been so much better if the interviewer would let him tell his story without so many interruptions.
