    I got spit on in the S.F. air port by a women and her kid on my way home from Nam in 72. I remember being caught off guard by it and was not sure how to respond at the time. I do now.
    I was in uniform to.

    Glad they got him, to bad s**t like that happened to us. But yea know what I was flying to Vegas for a H.O.G. officer training a couple of years ago. There were several of us on the flight and we had our chapter vests with us. I had my Nam patch on mine and had several people thank me for my service and the stewardess offered me a free drink. Boy times have sure changed. :)
