Love the USO.

" Hello Mom, over. "

I liked the travel area I used as A Military wife at Sea Tac in Washington it was wonderful. I traveled from Oak Harbor on a small commuter plane like 6.30 am and had a 3 or 4 hr wait to fly to NJ with a 6 mo old and4 yr old.They had drinks for toddler and food a .Bottle warmers,cribs clean linens, diaper changing and toilets.coffee. tv and play area..Husband was in Viet Nam and I went home for a visit with new baby. MISS having them airports.People were so helpful..I also went to one for coffee or to buy lunch with girl friends in NAS Rota Spain

I never had a chance to visit a USO facility in Vietnam. However, I enjoyed the shows that the USO brought over. It certainly lifted my morale along with fellow service men and women who serve during the Vietnam War.

We had one in Chu Lai, right on the beach....for 'in country' R&R use, as well at the base personnel.......and supporting med vac. Semper Fi VMFA - 334

What about latinos and Asians

The 369 Infantry Regiment, formerly known as the 15th New York National Guard Regiment and commonly referred to as the Harlem Hellfighters, was an infantry regiment of New York Army National Guard during World War I and World War II. Wikipedia

...and when they got home they couldn't use rest rooms, vote or eat in restaurants.

Why is it not American soldier history. Imagine the outcry if a title stated white American soldiers.

I just do not understand why these men preferr to be called African American? They were born and raised in America weren't they?

There should be more. There were those that served in the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Spanish American war, the Gulf war, etc. Thanks for sharing the names of these men and women. Please continue listing.

Thanks for sharing!

Mighty men of valor.

Honor all our vets! We all bleed the same color, regardless of race, rank or service!

God bless them all

⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

Thank you so much for all of those that served.

Thank you for your service!!

100% Respect for all the men and women of all race and skin color have and continue to fight and defend this great country and our freedoms. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The Navajo Code Talkers did alot more. If it wasn't for the Code talkers the war in the Pacific would've lasted alot longer. Only now 75 years late are they finally getting any recognition.

Thank you for your service!

There is something Very wrong here. Why are "we" celebrating only one ethnic group that served in military?

🙏❤️🇺🇸 👍 Love for their contribution and celebrating B H M

I’m so proud off ALL of our fighting men & women!!!!

Awesome!!

Thank you for your service....

MY GRAND PARENTS, MY PARENTS, MY GREAT GREAT GRAND PARENTS AND I WERE PERSECUTED BY WHITES. WHEN MY UNCLE AND MY DAD GOT HOME AFTER WORLD WAR II, HE WASN'T ALLOWED TO EAT IN WHITE RESTAURANTS, DRINK OUT OF WHITE WATER FOUNTAINS, HE HAD TO SIT IN THE BACK OF THE BUS, HIS PEOPLE WERE HUNG BY THE TEXAS RANGERS AND THEIR LANDS STOLEN . THEY WERE THE AFRICAN AMERICANS OF SOUTH TEXAS AND THEY ARE STILL PERSECUTED BECAUSE THEY ARE BROWN MEXICAN AMERICANS. THIS ISN'T TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS AND HAS BEEN SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY WHITES AND THE SUPERINTENDENT COCOA NUT IN CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS.. MEXICAN AMERICAN HISTORY IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THIS IS HAPPENING NOW. THEY SEE MEXICAN AMERICANS AND THEY SEE MEXICANS AND IMMIGRANTS AND SO WHITES HAVE ANNAMOSITY TOWARDS THEM. I TOO WHEN I CAME BACK DURING VIETNAM WAS DISCRIMINATED UPON WITH RACIAL SLURS. I REMEMBER THE SIGNS ON DOORS AT RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESS WHERE IT SAID NO MEXICANS ALLOWED. YOU WON'T FIND ANY MOMENTS OF BRAVERY BY MEXICAN AMERICANS OR MILITARY HISTORY LIKE YOU FIND WITH AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY ANYWHERE. OUR CHILDREN ARE ONLY TAUGHT ABOUT MARTIN LUTHER KINGS CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN SCHOOLS, BUT WHAT IS NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS IS MEXICAN AMERICAN HISTORY ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE CHICANO MEXICAN AMERICAN H CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT OF THE 60'S AND 70'S THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED. WE ARE FROM SOUTH TEXAS, NOT NEW YORK CITY. THERE ARE MANY MEXICAN AMERICANS HERE,. IN CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS, THE POPULATION IS 69% MEXICAN AMERICANS AND MORE AS YOU FURTHER SOUTH. THIS IS WHY TO US MEXICAN AMERICAN HISTORY IS IMPORTANT, BUT WHITES DENY US OF OUR HISTORY. THIS IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW!

African Americans, Negros, Blacks, whatever we call these American citizens worked just as hard, performed many moments of bravery, shed their blood, died, came home mutilated, with what we now call PTSD, it was called "shell shock". Yet with ALL of their moments of bravery, loss of lives & limbs WERE NEVER held equal nor applauded as their "white" comrades. Shame on us, America :-(
