I am sorry to have shirked my duties to JFK, bitt. I had been led to believe that JFK, (who, as you may know, is a hero of the conflict in Vietnam, and is presently the Junior Senator from Massachusetts, holding the very seat formerly held by the Virgin and Martyr, St. John Fitgerald Kennedy, whose initials John F. Kerry shares, along with his Irish Catholic heritage), was thinking of leaving public life and devoting himself to the condiment industry.

This piece of disinformation, no doubt spread as the result of the Swift Boat People's control of the media, had taken me in ... hook, line, and sinker. Also, my former CO was not to be seen anywhere near Capitol Hill during important debates, so I naturally assumed this foul falsehood about his entry into the private sector was true.

I have been working on the Chanukkah in Cambodia reunion boat trip, immersed (so to speak), in the myriad details involved in a riverine adventure of this sort. Thank goodness my former CO has found those old journals, as the details do tend to fade after all those years. I am also planning on a documentary video, which I am offering for sale to Free Republic people in a two-cd set, which includes Al Gore's seminal film on Global Warming.

I feel the truth must be seared, seared I tell you, into everyone's memory, well in advance of JFK's election to the Presidency.

Thank God I learned the truth before it was too late to set the record straight before the election of '08.
