Vets Vent

November 13, 1983, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

Marine Corps veterans speak their peace about patriotism and love of country in advance of Veterans Day.  It was a different era when these vets were interviewed; the atmosphere seems more politically charged now when it comes to these subjects.  After twenty years of war overseas and having lived through the controversies surrounding kneeling during the national anthem and other civil disturbances, one wonders what their viewpoints would be now.  No one will argue that flag waving is nice, but these vets were the truest of patriots for the service they provided.
