" It was a battle to recapture the honor of the Vietnam veterans "

They never lost their honor among the American people, just the Old Media and extreme left whackos. There just wasn't any countervailing media giving favorable publicity to returning veterans.

But all across the country they were being elected to city councils, statehouses and school boards. Employers were wanting the maturity and self discipline of veterans.

They were heroes to their friends and families if not to Hollywood.

You should have been in my shoes in Sept 69 in Chicago

I had just got out of the Navy.

I was denied admission to Northwestern University and
learned NOT to even mention that I was a Viet Nam Vet
on job interviews.

And the left were empowered more when
Hanoi Kerry "testified" in April 71

Odd I was there when Hanoi Kerry was.

He STILL serves illegally as a US Senator.

Wonder if I could be a US Senator also?
