I just re-read my last post to you.....I must have Iraq on the brain! What I meant to say was that I had a cousin who served in VIETNAM! Ok, that's it....better mix another toddy to clear my brain. har har

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, it's been an intense journey for them. My brother was on the 43 Boat. He too, was a Purple Heart recipient, (his injury, legitimate,put him on hospital ship for 2 weeks) as well as the Navy Commendation Medal. He, however; returned to his crew and completed 2 12 month tours. The reunion of these guys has given so much to all of them, because like my brother, most of the guys wouldn't talk about their experience, and their reunion and activism gave him the validation for his experience and service that he never received until now. They are all going to get together again for the BIG celebration, defeating Kerry. It made me so angry when guys like O'Reilly wouldn't give them the honor due them, and to hear them being called "liars" when skerry was the guilty one, really drove me up the wall. So, you can understand the defeat of this phony was a personal quest for my family. What is your cousin's last name? If he was a Swifty, perhaps my brother could find him or some info?
