They try to sell you life insurance and annuities and get a commission. sometimes 8% commission

These organizations might have to publish what they spend funds on (to show their members). So it might be wise to look at their published magazines (which most of them have) and see what they list as expenditures.

The countryside of (South) Vietnam was like certain places in the United States (remember, Vietnam is still the planet Earth, a tree is a tree, and water is still water, etc.). It had the humid heat of the deep south ( the US southern states), along with the swamps of Florida, and the hills of some of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado or the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. But that's not what made it unique. What made it unique was going back into time. It was returning to America of those above mentioned mountains and swamps, forests, etc. WITHOUT the civilization of traffic signs, interstate highways, barbed wire fences, no tresspassing signs, locked gates, toll boths, park ranger buildings, forest ranger buildings, parking lots, (a shopping mall we would have appreciated though, hunger was our constant companion) etc. The land (described above) was in the same condition that Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Lewis & Clark, Jedediah Smith, Kit Carson, and the rest, saw during their life times in America. It was an UNSPOILED LAND; an UNTAMED LAND. When we moved in our tank or APC (M-113 Armored Personnel Carrier) we moved through wilderness. Few roads, and the few that existed were dirt. No signs, follow the setting sun (with the help of a map and compass-no GPS back then). And most important of all, we moved and lived with our buddies. Without the security and comradeship of our brothers in arms, the journey would have been FAR LONELIER and less memorable!

National pride, unity integrity, language barriers.

Usually at a public memorial event. In the old days, the custom was to say a prayer (usually a Christian prayer) at a public or patriotic ceremony, when asking everyone to honor someone who had died. But these days, with so many different religious groups in America, as well as secular groups, the custom has changed. Some people still prefer the old way, but in modern times, when showing respect for the memory of someone (like a soldier or a famous person), the tendency is to ask everyone to observe a moment of silence. Silence is a sign of respect, and it does not impose one religious practice on those in attendance; it also gives each participant time to think, and to show their respect in their own way. Of course, at a private ceremony, especially one that is run by the clergy from a certain religion (such as a Christian or Jewish or Muslim funeral), the customs and prayers of that faith tradition are used.

Be honest and direct. If you cannot find the words to say to him personally, write them in a note or find a card that best expresses your sentiment. Most veterans are not looking for - or expecting - special attention for their service. Any expression of thanks for their sacrifices is appreciated.

A Bad Conduct Discharge, as opposed to a Dishonorable Discharge, is considered a separation under conditions Other Than Honorable. With an OTH discharge, the Department of Veterans Affairs makes the determination as to whether the OTH was based on conditions which would result in the forfeit of any or all VA benefits. The more serious offenses, such as desertion, mutiny, spying, etc., will result in loss of all benefits.

Approximately 24 million Americans are military veterans; 1.7 million are women.
