"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."

She is #2 on my list of graves to urinate on. Fidel Castro is #1 as he came close to killing millions of us. Even with that data, Fidel barely beats out Fonda.

"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."

Thanks to your son and his fellow Marines for serving our country and protecting us.

This is great to hear.

* bump * I have nothing worth adding to that, but it sure is worth repeating.
