[Just A Nobody]

Hey there sw. I've been in the N/NE for most of the last 6 months. My vehicles are highly decorated with troop support paraphernalia and I only received honks, waves and cheers. I was even invited to partake of adult beverages (took my diet coke) with a bunch of guys waaaaay up north.

There are true American patriots all around the country. The only exception would be D.C. and especially Capitol Hill.

pardon me, but i was talking about the "VN period". you would have been "taking your life in your hands" to have "decorated your car" in '73/'74.

i personally know a Marine, who was "dragged out of his PU" in Rolling Meadows, IL & "beaten half to death" for just HAVING a 3" USMC sticker in the back window. (i KNOW. i was a former college "buddy" of his & went to see him in the hospital, after. btw, NOTHING was done to his "abusers". the PD officer at the ER said, "them's the breaks" & left.)

we GIs were even told to take the "post parking stickers" OFF our POVs to "blend in with the civilian vehicles" in late '74 at Ft Mead, MD.

imVho, we must ASSURE that vets/GIs are NEVER, EVER again treated as we "RVN era vets" WERE.
