Vietnam Vets Remember-- Part 5: Coming Home

The unpopular Vietnam War was a lightning rod for protesters in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and returning veterans experienced a wide variety of homecomings.

For Pete Haley, his return in 1968 was uneventful since protesting the war had not yet hit its peak, he said.  Instead, Haley's experience with war protesters came on the battlefield.

"We actually killed a NVA, North Vietnamese (army) regular on patrol over there, "Haley said, "and he had a medicine kit on him that was donated by Berekely College of California.  I found that very offensive."
