Every service member past or present should contact these search engines and tell them not to continue to treat these soldiers the way they were treated when they returned home from the Vietnam War.

Our veterans were grossly mistreated when they returned home.

They could not wear their uniforms off base for their own safety they, were spit upon in public places, and were called "baby killers."

These vets are still treated with contempt in some circles, and the false stereotype continues to be repeated, often innocently. It's time to educate the American public about our Vietnam Veterans.

Please help put an end to this gross injustice. Please contact your favorite search engine and insist that they change the way they get the worthless results they display.

Make them add the word "DUSTOFF"
to their dictionary and vocabulary.

Thank You from a Vietnam War Veteran.
