I'm not a Pink fan...too screechy...but this is good. Made me cry...which ain't hard. Had to share it. The words grabbed me right to the heart.

Took me back to those days of Viet Nam. I am NOT a vet, but I never disrespected our soldiers and I truly felt for them, especially when they came home proud to just still be alive and were spit on.
99.9 percent of them didn't want to be there. I was not chosen in the draft and I let that stand for me. I WOULD have went, but I didn't have to.
To all you vets...thank you for your service, and to those who fell, thank you for your sacrifice. We owe you a debt that can't be paid.

There is a way to make a down payment, though. Dig up LBJ, dump his bones into a pig wallow, and erect a gallows over it for Hanoi Jane.

I know how it is to feel stuck in time. PTSD takes a lot of forms.

Hadn't heard that but I would not put anything beyond him or his family.
