So I guess I feel the same way about the soldiers who died in Iraq as I do about the soldiers that died in Vietnam. It wasn't their fault that they were there, and they deserve to be honored for their service. When I visited the Vietnam War memorial in DC, I was really moved, and I hope that something equally impressive is constructed for these soldiers. However, this still doesn't mean that I think that either war was justified.

I don't know how Vietnam came up or what it has to do with this, but I've posted several posts on this topic. There is nothing similar other than they were wars and the similarities are to any war and not Vietnam.
Again, this organization has an agenda and it's not to honor the troops. In fact I feel sad that it's doing it because it's trying to piggy back on their sacrifices. That shouldn't be - not with any political part. I believe municipalities and organizations should honor them without any other motive whatsoever.
