[Nam Vet]

All I can add is that not one Vietnam Vet that I know supports Kerry. Noone can imagine the scorn Kerry brought down on us. The feeling of betrayal was so deep, it is unimagineable if you weren't in our shoes. I will never forget it. We knew he was lying, but oh so many believed him and his band of liars.

What I resent so much is that Kerry is reopening decades old wounds for millions of us.

I'm sorry you consider memories of the past to be "wounds." Hopefully time has allowed bad feelings to soften or fade. For myself, I have nothing but the highest regard for Vietnam veterans. (Heck, I even have respect for Kerry's achievements -- though not much else in his public service career.)

I've been able to serve in uniform with some great folks who are Vietnam era vets -- I'm so glad they get to be in uniform today to experience the wonderful support from so many people. (Indiana is a great place to be in uniform -- the citizens just can't say enough nice things!) I think for those guys, the kind words go a real long way.
