This is powerful stuff and well worth sharing with a few million souls out there. There is no RAT antidote to this kind of Vietnam service. Agreed! I guess we should email it to all the columnists at Townhall.com, etc. and see who they can turn on to it. People like Peggy Noonan ought to be able to shop it around.
It is supremely perfect in saying everything. And it is said so beautifully like a regular man!

Very well put!
And as for the junior senator from Massachusetts...well I have two (that's 1..2)words for him.
He now makes much of his decorations from the war in Vietnam, to appeal to centrists and conservatives, without reminding those audiences that he for long was a leader of Vietnam veterans against the war. Indeed, assiduous searchers, looking for his vulnerabilities, will find much of interest in that period of his life. For example, the fabled and distinguished chief of naval operations (CNO), Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, told me -- 30 years ago when he was still CNO -- that during his own command of US naval forces in Vietnam, just prior to his anointment as CNO, young Kerry had created great problems for him and the other top brass, by killing so many non-combatant civilians and going after other non-military targets.
"We had virtually to straight-jacket him to keep him under control," the admiral said. "Bud" Zumwalt got it right when he assessed Kerry as having large ambitions -- but promised that his career in Vietnam would haunt him if he were ever on the national stage.

Thank YOU Brother!

I grew up with both types....so it's real difficult to choose between them.
But, by all means, send along the recipe. I would appreciate it.

Yea...now that you mention it...those guys who brought the mail from home deserve a special place.
Except in the Democrats world.

Here is one I think you'll be glad you read.
"Cornbread" has an entire new meaning now.

Just happened that today we were discussing the body of Christ ...How each of us has our jobs...Some functions as the eyes, ears, of Christ. Others function as the mouth, hands, or feet....Just remember, there's a "rectum" in each body too.....no doubt jFk's job.

...put on the uniform. That's all it takes to be a member of a special club. The Band-Of-Brothers.
Thank you. I always apologize when I say that I never went into battle. When the kids at school find out I was in the Army--and DURING the end of the Viet Nam War--they always ask about "what I did." I'm always embarrassed that I was an avionics mechanic and didn't do anything even CLOSE to danger.
It's very gracious of you to extend that which you have "HARD-won" to those of us who "only [stood] and wait[ed}."
Thank you, again.

I have not extended anything that wasn't already yours.
When you put on the Uniform....you join the 'club'.
There is no other way about it.
So...Brother...no need to feel anything but PROUD...that you served your Nation.

I chuckled a bit when I put your "cornbread" story and the scripture together.....Think those in the pew next to me were wondering about their seatmate's sanity a bit....... Just couldn't explain it in church...... Thank goodness God has a sense of humor!
