I don't know any particulars about the telephone interview that Ron Smith will be doing with Kristinn (as Free Republic's spokesman), just that they will be discussing the MD4BUSH story.
.
I'll NEVER FORGET my watching LBJ on TV 15 miles away from my Ft. Meade, MD Signal Corps unit...
announce his sending in the new experimental 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) to fight for Freedom in Vietnam. Nor my "I'm with ya, JOHNSON baby, I'm with ya" response.
The very next day I got my orders that read '1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile)'..!!
Yes, Sir ..I was going 'All the Way with LBJ,' just like his previous year 1964's campaign slogan asked us to do.

Aloha, AR! I'll watch We Were Soldiers with new feeling next time, although getting even more emotional about it is hard to imagine.
I like Chris Core on WMAL at 6PM....gave up on Ron Smith when he started trashing our presence in Iraq....

Bless your Heart, Freeper maica.

'WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE...& YOUNG'....4 FREEDOM

I agree with you about Smith's attitude toward the situation in Iraq. I turn him off when he's talking about that. But he covers MD politics better than any host I know - does Core ever cover MD? I've never heard him do it - most of the times when I've listened to him, he's been talking about something trivial and silly.

You are about to have a 40th Anniversary! Happy Christmas in America this year! I was in Guam for Christmas of 1968 - as a civilian.
Terrific photos, including (yuk) the "young" Ted Kennedy, sort of like the "young" Elvis.
I am watching a replay of President Bush addressing the Brigade of Midshipmen - the first of his 4 recent policy speeches. Every Middie listening to his words enrolled at the Academy after 2001, so they know they are going to be warriors.
.
Thank you for your kindness about my Vietnam picture of a young Senator TED KENNEDY taken before he went a bit off the deep end, literally.
While in Guam did you happen to see any 'Earl's Hut' Coffee shops? He was my Uncle Earl.
.
No, I don't remember Earl's Hut coffee shops. I lived near the Naval Air Station and worked at Guam Memorial Hospital. Off duty hours were spent at the Officer's Club or scuba diving or looking at sunsets!

In 1971 JOHN KERRY went on national TV to call us American Soldiers fighting for the Freedom of others in Vietnam...
...terrorists, without using the exact word, who cut-off heads and ears...
...instead of the Communist terrorists we were fighting there who were.
In 2005 JOHN KERRY went on national TV to call us American Soldiers fighting for the Freedom of others in Iraq...
...terrorists, using the exact wording this time, instead of the Muslim Extremist terrorists we are fighting...
...with our own Freedom directly at stake here at home.
The Enemy is now Within,
and always has been.
JOHN KERRY.
And his Billionaire wife who is funding him.

The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history.
1st American advisor was killed on June 08, 1956,
and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.
Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran. For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers. And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.

Thank you for your sharing, maica.
After fightinq all up and down Europe during World War II and receiving a Dear John Letter in the process, my Uncle decided to get as far away from everything as he could when he came back after the war, and that was the far away island of Guam.
Earl 'Kloppy' Kloppenburg ended up founding what later became the 1st and largest Coffee Shop chain on Guam, Earl's Hut. He later expanded into a large Airline Jetliner Restarant onboard food service, eventually closing down his Coffee Shops to concentrate on his newest and highly successful business operation servicing all Jetliners coming in and out of the Guam airport. Like PAN AM Airlines.
He also built a Turtle Cove Recreational park on the east side of Guam in the 1960's, which later took heavy damage from Pacific typhoons.
Earl 'Kloppy' Kloppenburg was a real Guam original.

That would be "Havre de Grace"- or in the Baltimoron tongue, "Habber de Grace." It's about an hour north of Bal'mer on I-95, at the top of the Chesapeake Bay.
