Thanks for post. I'm enjoying this payback to Kerry and his ilk. One of my ambitions is to live long enough to piss on Jane Fonda's grave.
On a more positive note and speaking to sterling character of most Vietnam Vets, let me relate a story told to me by my son. He is a grunt with 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. He returned to Camp Pendleton from fallujah and al-Kharma, Iraq in July. When the USAF plane landed in Maine at an Air Force base to refuel at 2:00 a.m. in the morning, the Marines were allowed to disembark for a short period, still in their 782 gear. He was amazed and delighted that there, as they deplaned, were veterans waiting to welcome them home with coffee, donuts, and handshakes for a job well done. He found out that Vietnam veterans had been the driving force in arranging these welcome home parties for all troops. They had invited and rounded up vets from all the services, ranks and times of service to greet these young men. He still talks about it. God Bless 'em one and all.
Should have ALL OF THE ABOVE as a choice too.
What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing. God bless your son and tell him we thank him for his service to our country. And god bless all the vets!
LOL Great minds think alike. Read my post #8
Wow! Bump, Bump, Bump!
Oh my this moved me to tears. God bless those vets for providing a welcome that they didn't receive.

GASP!!! Flip Flop! ;-)
SEMPER FI
KABOOM!
I will be standing alongside high-fiving.
Hopefully the final nail in the coffin of this POS.
"He is reaping what he has sown, and it is so fitting!"
My thoughts exactly brudda! It was 30 plus years in the coming, but it is so sweet now!
Available, yes, picked up by one of the alphabet networks? I doubt it.
I was lurking on the dark side and they are trying to find ways to defuse this but all they come up with is Rev. Moon. BWAAAA HAAAAA!
Our Vietnam Veterans know better than anybody what this must mean to our men and women coming home from war. They will not allow what happened to them happen to another generation of our military.
GOD BLESS THEM ALL
I also hope to live long enough to piss on the NYT grave. And the look more likely with this new heart.LOL
Surely the French authorities knew about this visit...did they help design it?
