A truly black spot in the history of our country. I don't know about your dad, but many (most) of us in that era had little or no choice in terms of our military service, and the disrespect of those radical few who chose to act and react that way made a hard situation that much worse.
That kind of treatment of our military people was a national disgrace -- whether you were for or against the war.
