I'll be there, Lord willing! I still think it should be dubbed "The Million Vets March".
I'll be there!!
GO VETS GO !!
After 33 years, isn't it time to say THANK YOU, and to set the record straight??
HELL YEAH !!!
"Finally, after thirty-three years, we have our chance to set the record straight--thousands of veterans and their supporters are going to demonstrate to the American people once and for all that John Kerry lied when he testified that Americans were committing murder, mayhem, torture, and rape in Viet Nam."
See You There
In God We Trust.....Semper Fi

Another bump from a VN Vet
When: Sunday, Sept. 12, 2004 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT
Where: The West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building, Washington, DC.
All Vietnam veterans and their families and supporters are asked to attend.
Other veterans are invited as honored guests.
Please - This will be a peaceful event--no shouting or contact with others with different opinions. We fought for their rights then, and we respect their rights now. This is NOT a Republican or a pro-Bush rally. Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike are warmly invited. Our gathering is to remember those with whom we served, thereby giving the lie to John Kerry's smear against a generation of fine young men.
B.G. "Jug" Burkett, author of Stolen Valor, will be one of our speakers. Jug has debunked countless impostors who falsely claimed to be Vietnam veterans or who falsely claimed awards for heroism. Jug recommends that we refrain from dragging fatigues out of mothballs. Dress like Americans, like you do every day. Dress code: business casual, nice slacks, and shirt and shoes. No uniform remnants, please. Unit hats OK. Selected members will wear badges identifying them as authorized to speak to the media about our event. Others who speak to the media will speak only for themselves.
The program will be controlled in an attempt to stay on-message. Speakers are encouraged not to engage in speculative criticism of John Kerry but (1) to stick to known and undisputed facts about John Kerry's lies while (2) reminding America of the true honor and courage of our brothers in battle in Vietnam.
Can't wait to hear Burkett.....the guy never got enough coverage on his book......
i'm going and hope to hook up with other vets riding their motorcycles south on i-95 to the capitol. anyone? anyone?
wish I could be there!
In the Atlanta area, vets who can't be there plan to gather that afternoon at a local sports bar where they can support the effort and do a little campaigning. Or, if C-span covers at a later time, that's an option too.
I'll see ya'll there! I'm bringing the kids and the parents too.
A Monday morning bump......
