James Miller said times have changed since he returned from his tour of duty in Vietnam in 1967.

“We’re getting a whole lot more respect than we got back then,” the former Marine said. “When we got back in 1967, no one knew you were back home. Nobody said anything. You were just here.

“But now, the last 10 years we’ve been getting a lot of respect and people saying, ‘Thank you for your service,’” Miller said. “We got to go on a trip to Washington, D.C., and different places like that because of our service.”
