We did - just about after the fact. One of the things that has been rolling around in my memory are the POW/MIA bracelets from the Vietnam War. Remember those? Young girls wore them in the early 70's to protest the lack of action our own government was taking to recover servicemen held prisoner - remember those?
Mom didn't want to make us targets, back in those days. But oh, I remember.
"Supporting the troops" has been a misnomer in the American experience for some time now. I guess we could consider this some luck in the Iraqi experience. We aren't having the sheer numbers of POW/MIAs as we did then.
