[Viet-Boat-Rider]

Because of John Kerry and others like him there are more names on the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D. C. than there otherwise would have been. There was also the slaughter of 3.5 million South Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians when America pulled out that is significantly attributable to John Kerry and his now admittedly “over the top” accusations. John Kerry has blood dripping from his untrue accusations.

When I returned home to Los Angeles from Vietnam in 1971 my head was spinning as I walked through the Terminal at LAX, thinking about the culture of war that I had just left while looking around at the opulence in America. When I stepped outside onto the sidewalk a group of “Longhairs” walked by and one of them spat on me while the others called me a “Baby Killer”. I feel that the treatment that I received, and have lived with for the past 33 years, was due to John Kerry and his lies.

John Kerry does not have the moral integrity, honesty, or judgment to be the Commander-In-Chief of the world’s most powerful military. John Kerry IS, unfit for command.

If I could get within 10 feet of John Kerry I would SPIT A BIG LUGIE INTO HIS FACE, and I don't care what the consequences would be.

Don't know if you cuised on the Hau Giang (southern branch) of the Mekong near Chau Phu, but here's a story my Vietnamese wife tells about the Navy guys.

She was only a toddler in 1971, but she distinctly recalls that she was lost one day in her part of town, crying and not knowing how to get home.

A guy in a green uniform and a moustache (that's all she remembers) took her by the hand, gave her some candy, and led her around the village looking for Mom. My wife recalls he stopped a lot of people asking if they knew who she was.

Finally he found Mom and turned my now-wife over to the family.

I've spent a lot of time in that area over the years, and to this day there's not a single person I've met who has anything but fond memories of the Naval presence in those years.

Thought you'd like to know.

My about feelings that despicable, self aggrandizing, lying, backstabbing, seditious traitor known as Hanoi John exactly.
I too was a boat rider – we worked from the DMZ down through Can Tho and points South.

My boat on the beach at Duc Pho – 1967.
