No.
Tonk, those years haunt me, too. But in a different way.
I was a girl. I knew something was seriously wrong with my world. I never could get the pieces to fit.
Until I found Swift Vets.
And by that time, it looked like we were going to have a deja vu'. I saw it coming. And I begged for help. Because, this time, I had a pawn on the board.
I really did Make a vow, just as you did, THE SAME WORDS. Even that I would fight this with my last breath.
I don't know if anybody here at FRee Republic knows how grateful I am for what I've found here.

I met Jim Robinson in Aug '04
Him, his wife and son in Bandon OR
I'm proud to call him my Brother
He's a DD Viet Nam Vet and we talked about our similar "tours"
Then we went to the Coast Guard base where I "work" every week.
He met the then Skipper and many crew members.
I had the best of both worlds, Jim from FR
and the crew I "work" with.

Thanks Jim, our country owe you and your family
a debt that would be hard to repay.
You can say that again. I was an army wife during those years, and the treatment the soldiers received was worse than disgraceful. To watch these stone traitors Fonda and Kerry walking around with their millions for decades afterward, continuing to piss in the eye of courageous, decent people, has been bitter indeed -- until FreeRepublic came along. Thank you, JimRob, endlessly.
