I watched Kerry's speech last night, and I think he said everything just right. I was very happy with it. As to whether there were too many references to Vietnam, maybe. Or maybe we're just recognizing the debt that we owe these men and women that we've never acknowledged before. I think the dedication of the WW2 memorial and the 60th anniv. of D-Day has given us a chance to reflect on military service, and honoring Vietnam vets is just the next step. Although we may have opposed the war itself, the soldiers didn't have any control over that part.
