MESA, AZ — The Veterans Day Parade along 1st Street in Mesa is a million miles and a lifetime away from the fire support base where then-20-year-old artillery gunner Daniel Maciel was stationed during the Vietnam war.
Maciel was one of the veterans sprinkled into the crowd who came to watch the East Valley Veterans Parade Friday. Vietnam tested the soul of America. Veterans like Forgacz say they would do it again. Hank Woodrum wasn't in Vietnam but served in the U.S. Army in Germany. The son of an Air Force bomber pilot, his sense of duty was engrained early."There is no question that's the way I was raised. You served, did what was asked of you and did the best you could. So yeah, I'd do it again."
