I am someone Henry C. Dillenbeck might consider to be one of those pseudo-patriots he spoke about in his letter on Aug. 12.

I served my country, as did many pseudo-patriots, in Vietnam. I saw many pseudo-patriots, who actually believed in the Constitution and what it stands for, die for this country.

Dillenbeck dishonored the many veterans who have fought and died by calling them pseudo-patriots. I am a patriot, a patriot who served my country with honor as did many of my fellow soldiers and as are many who are serving now.
