Best Answer

While I served in Vietnam in 1968, we received many packages sent simply to "any serviceman" filled with baked goods, paperback books, playing cards, candy, magazines, newspapers, socks, and letters from kids and families. The media spent a great deal of coverage on protests - but a great many Americans continued to quietly lend their support and encouragement to military serving in combat.
