Thank you, namvet66. I think you are absolutely correct. Not only the majority of nam vets but also their Moms, Dads, brothers, sisters, children and friends scorned Kerry. No wonder he lost but that is something the nutty left just doesn't understand.
Thank you all veterans everywhere not only today but everyday.

You are absolutely right. We had a lots of help from friends, family, relatives, and other vets from other wars/conflicts.
We Nam Vets who were stigmatized and subjected to so much as a result of Kerry, the VVAW and their ilk, should be ever vigilant and do whatever we can to protect our brave military serving today from letting this ever happening to them.
Believe me, the VVAW (check out their site) is still going strong and (I believe) helped organize and is wholeheartedly, supporting the Iraq Vets Against War (IVAW).
