John Smith (A Vietnam Vet) made this girl cry by telling her the truth about how anti-war activists damage morale for the troops in the field.

Good for him!! John was a fabulous addition to our group. It was a real pleasure to meet him. I told him about FR and he asked for the URL so he could check it out and I was happy to oblige him by writing it down. Maybe we'll have a new FReeper before long. :-)

He spoke with these three for quite a while. (that's John with his back to the camera) I don't think he got anywhere with the scruffy dude but I got the feeling the other two were beginning to rethink their views a bit.

The two veterans wearing dark blue jackets seemed genuinely surprised (and pleased) when I walked up and thanked them for their service and both reached out to shake my hand. Wouldn't it be wonderful if, at the next FReep, those two joined us? Ya never know!
