Born '48, enlisted as a 'John Wayne' type at 17 in '65, discovered and listened to many political people of all races during those years, discovered drugs, fried my mind, discharged in late '67 (early out from Korea), continued frying my mind, tried the SDS route ... way too radical, stayed a 'love hippy' type, (until) I got saved in '81, married in '83, three kids and an entirely stable and patriotic mindset and world view later ... here I am.
Never condemned vets because I was one and I knew a lot from listening to guys that had been in country, I wanted to have a 'correct' position politically.
God Bless you, FREEPER.
All the credit goes to you guys, though. You make us all proud to live in this great country.
God bless you.
