Star Spangled Salute: Covid-19 Slows Down Uncle Sam

Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Vietnam Veteran Dave Dunlap.  Dave served from 1970 to 1972, surviving 3 major incidents in Vietnam including an ambush.  He returned home with survivors guilt and not the welcome home he had expected.  Dave said he was proud of his service until he landed at San Francisco airport and was met with anger and hate for his service. He went on to earn his bachelors degree but his real gift was singing.  He started singing in his church choir when he was young.  In 2014 he developed a 40-minute educational song and dance program called “The Shaping of Uncle Sam”. These days however, due to Covid-19, gigs are few and far between which just gives Dave more time for projects around the house.  Thank you for your gifts and thank you for your service Dave.
