I sure wish I could attend. I would gladly wear a suit and tie (a very rare occurrence) and have my DD 214 tucked into my jacket pocket.
One thing occurs to me and thats the number of Viet Nam Vets who seem to be remaining silent on Kerry and his actions. Could it be that we remained so silent for so long that we became used to it? Sorta like not wanting to get spit on so blending into the woodwork?
