I was an AF brat during VN

Me, too. Taiwan and MacDill while my dad trained pilots. My brother was proud to sign up and serve in VN, because my dad taught him to serve.

I've cried now...like I know some of you have, as well. I am streaming this from CSPAN and absolutley feeling an outrage at what walter cronkite of CBS, the other major networks, the anti-vietnam war vets DID TO NOT ONLY OUR PRECIOUS TROOPS but TO OUR NATIONS RESOLVE TO WIN THE VIETNAM WAR.

I suppose I am feeling hatred, I don't know how else to express this absolute loathing.

I do know this-the people who have traveled from across this nation to attend this are MY HEROS. They SHAME the claims of heroism kerry's medals proclaim. The difference is as stark as day and night.

GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE VETERANS, deceased and living, THEIR FAMILIES and our nation!
