I've got an artist lined up to create my "sandwich board" and have been fretting over the final decision of what exactly to say in my message that I plan to display downtown at the post office next to the PETA's and protestors.

I have the credentials: U.S. Navy Seaman, In-Country 20MAY69/20MAY70, assigned as LCM Boatdriver on Long Tau River (Saigon River), Awarded Combat Action Ribbon, Patient, 93rd Evac, Long Binh 01NOV69/24NOV70, front row center at Bob Hope Xmas show at Long Binh, discharged from hosp. and assigned to light duty in Saigon where I stayed till DEROS.

I could've got a Purple Heart and I could've been sent on to Japan instead of those very hard 24 days at the 93rd Evac. The doctor gave me the option , but I believed he could do the job and I didn't want anything to break up my tour.

So, Kerry has reached me with his tar brush. He did it so long ago and believe me when I say it was like INCOMING and as the years passed, occasional remarks from his believers were yet more INCOMING ROSE THORNS that make my happy ass mad!

If anyone has a suggestion on my slogan, banner, statement...whatever it winds up being, pass it along to me.

I'm kind of chomping at the bit on this. Times ah wasting and it's time to saddle up.

Can your artist friend work with a photo? If so, I'd recommend this one (save copy of pic to your hard drive, copy to a CD or disk and give it to him). Or I'd think he could find it at the link noted at the bottom. Personally, I'd have both pics on both sides, so folks don't miss seeing them both. Besides that picture, there are SO many around here to choose just one or two. I think this sums Kerry's fellow VN vets' opinions up pretty good. What kind of protest is it you're going to? You mentioned PETA - I think that's a whole 'nother ballgame.
