I do it for the Brothers and Sisters who never came back.
It's the least I could do.
Unfortunately for me, I grew up in a suburb of Boston, and I have followed Kerry's career through the Boston Globe out of curiosity. He originally ran for city council in Lowell.....a blue collar suburb of Boston, as a decorated Viet Nam vet, and faced a resounding loss. Next year, he ran as a war protester, and won. He learned to be a whore while still in his twenties, and nothing has changed since the late 60's, early 70's.
And I admire you much for doing so.
God Bless.
Well said. I'm sure uncle teddy was his pimp.
Thanks for the ping!
It sure wouldn't surprise me, and don't forget about that communist, Father Drinan. (congressman Drinan)
Thanks, Tonk!
That man must be dumber than a box of rocks.
I saw him on BOR...nothing new there.
Did you see that he...GASP...lied? LOL
I think these folks are gonna eat their own. ;o)
Saluting your efforts, Tonk.
seasoned traditionalist brought forward the 3 Purple Heart graphic and it reminded me of a HM3 (that's a Navy Corpsman for you non-Navy types) that transferred aboard our ship in 66 or 67.
He was a thrice wounded medic while serving with Fleet Marine Force. Shot once, received a shrapnal wound, and stepped on a punji stick.
Protocol at the time, dictated that anyone wounded 3 times would be transferred to a ship or base away from hostile action. HanoiJohn found out about that protocol and managed to wrangle his 3 unearned Purple Hearts and a transfer out of the Swifties.
Our corpsman received a hero's welcome aboard our ship and served with distinction. Stars and Stripes featured him in an article during our 67 WESTPAC tour. He was a quiet sort of guy and really didn't wish to talk about his previous duty.
Quite a contrast between a real hero and traitor wouldn't ya say?
Great story Brother
Our Brother, redrock, was an army medic.
They were, in my opinion, the real heroes.
What counts now a days is that so may vets are united in their effort in exposing the threats to those seving now like hanoi kerry, cut and run murtha, Code Pink, etc
Welcome Home Brother
Welcome to FR
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
I doubt F'n Kerry would have too many friends in the Vietnamese community.
I wouldn't imagine so!
"the delusory senator from Massachusetts seems to think he will be a shoo-in for the presidency in 2008"
It captures the arrogant Kerry's motivation for everything he does and says.
BTTT
Huffington Post is where lefties go when they become too crazy for Democrat Underground.
Great docs and cartoons. Have had a significant impact on the fair-minded liberals in my social network.
Choosing between running or sleeping with Teresa "Shove it" Heinz Kerry...
Talk about being caught between Iraq and a hard place...

Glad to hear that!
Happy 4th of July Weekend
