[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1392616, member: 112"]Why ? Pretty simple explanation I think. It's the rebound from the nation's attitude during the Vietnam era. I believe, that as a nation, we guilty about that previous attitude. So we are now making, or trying to make, up for it by showing honor to our vets in every way we can. You see it everywhere you look, not just with coins. Coins are merely one of the many ways. It's a popular idea in this era. But regarding your other comment, I don't think there has been a "decline". Rather I believe there has been a pretty steady and consistent lack of interest since day one. There has never been a decline because they were never up to begin with. Decline means to go down, but it's pretty hard to go down when you have never been up. I am talking in a general, overall, sense of course.[/QUOTE]
