If I could say it that well, I would have beat you to it. Well said Brother.

Thank you. Keep you powder dry and we WILL prevail.

In o4, this was thrust upon us unexpectedly, when The Snake decided to make his Vietnam "record" his primary platform focus.

Many of us worked together to expose him and in spite of his being protected by the MSM, thanks to John O'Neil and many others, we were mostly successful.

In 08, if he runs, we will be much better prepared and organized.

If this traitor thinks he will get away with what he did last time (and "kick our butts all over the place" Paraphrasing) then by all means, Jean, "Bring It On!!!"

Its been a long time coming (our being able to finally admit we served in Nam and even, be little proud of it) and hopefully, we can salvage not only some of our own pride and reputation, but do so for all those (the 58,000) who were also slandered and could not defend themselves against this slime.

Be safe and God Bless to you and All Our Military--present and former, wherever they may be, and God Bless America.

To you, and everyone else who served in Vietnam, you have nothing to be ashamed of and everything to be proud of.

I was born a 'Reagan Baby' in '81 and wasn't around at the time, but as far as I am concerned the call which all of you answered to serve your country, to promote, and defend freedom is honorable and nothing less.

Personally, I find it very disturbing that throughout all my years in publicly-funded schools, it wasn't until I was 22 or 23 years old when I learned that more people died to communism AFTER we pulled out of Vietnam, than died during the war.

Those in the press, and the Kerrys and Murthas who hold office, who chose to make our soldiers out to be monsters, should be deeply ashamed of themselves. As they try to do the same thing now, to our service men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, it makes me sick to hear it.

You are all heroes, you should have no regrets, and should be very proud of your service to our country.

I am very thankful to all of you.
