Freeper Canteen: Welcome Home and Thank you Vietnam Vets! 05 Nov. 2004

For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday... Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed ForcesLooking forward to tomorrow's freedom? Support The United States Armed Forces Today!
CAMP RUN-A-MUCK
So much has been said and written about our Vietnam Veterans and our military men and women over the past few days. The message out there is loud and clear: Americans support our troops! In my opinion the election we won this week for George Bush is indeed a message to our troops; that we trust you, and to our Vietnam Veterans; that we love you and want to make things right again. And to both groups; We do believe in you as much as you believe in us. Still I feel as though there is one thing missing- a proper THANK YOU for all your sacrifices. I have heard many stories in the past few days that active duty troops would like to see their brothers and sisters from Vietnam finally get the respect which has always been due them. With that in mind,this thread is dedicated to our troops, both home and away , for our Vietnam vets and for all of their loved ones. Most of us are sorry it took so long to get our message to you- please know many of us have held this message in our hearts for a very long time:
THANK YOU AND WELCOME HOME!
FEILD TRIP HERE!
Those Americans who went to Vietnam fought for freedom, a truly noble cause. You and your comrades-in-arms who faced danger and death in Vietnam fought as well as any Americans in our nation's history.
Vietnam was not so much a war as it was one long battle in an ongoing war -the war in defense of freedom, which is still under assault. This battle was lost not by those brave American and South Vietnamese troops who were waging it but by political misjudgments and strategic failure at the highest levels of government. The tragedy- indeed, the immorality-of those years was that for the first time in our history our country and its government failed to match the heroic sacrifice of our men in the field. This must never happen again. ~Ronald Reagan~
To all those who have worn the uniform of the United States of America I say to you: You are America.

Yorkys were originally bred as rat killers in England because of their size. I got the name from the Pied Piper!

FisherHouse Foundation Inc. - They do the work - all you have to do is purchase - very easy to do -
I really appreciate you putting up the site - I worked my way through it and it went off without a hitch - even got my confirmation email - It's so nice to find places like that set up for people who want to do something but have no idea of how to go about it - Fantastic group of Americans if you ask me -
Thanks again and God Bless

Always nice to have a satisfied customer giving a good report for a link. And the neat thing about AAFES is that what you purchase helps the military again. God Bless you good for caring about our troops.

Good choice for your Piper...besides, Piper really is a cool name.
I have a co-worker whose pets include yorkies and ferrets. That gets to be interesting when they're all running around.

I ordered already with a link from Kathy - very easy to use - just didn't want to involve the Red Cross in doing anything - still unhappy with them - but - FisherHouse Foundation Inc. - takes care of everything.
just my opinion -
To: Fawnn
Thanks. We got the link up for AAFES International Phone cards, AND purchases made thru AAFES helps the military a second time.
