Ask Amy: Was spitting on service members an ‘urban myth’?

Dear Readers: I recently ran a letter from “Old Veteran,” who noted that, as a Vietnam vet, he feels quite uncomfortable when people say “Thank you for your service.”

Old Veteran noted that “There are many wounds that have never healed” because of the way service members were treated when they returned home from Vietnam.

I later ran a response from “Upset,” who claimed that this mistreatment was an “urban myth.”

These letters have prompted hundreds of responses from other veterans — and those who love them. Some of these responses are below.

On this Veterans Day, I’d like to say to all service members: Thank you.
