Imagine No Hippies (Its Time To Give Long Overdue Thanks To Korean And Vietnam War Veterans Alert)

We just started a cross-country tour called "Honoring our Heroes for the Holidays" that will take us to New York City at the World Trade Center site. We are collecting more than 100,000 cards of love and support that we did not show our veterans of more recent wars, which I will take to our soldiers in Iraq.

Our first stop on Monday was in Santa Nella, Calif., at The Remembrance Memorial for California Korean War Veterans. The names of 2,495 California veterans are engraved there. Our people were overwhelmed with the service of these veterans who gave their lives for us.

We want to send a message to our veterans and the world: We will NEVER forget you. We will never stand by and allow traitors such as Jane Fonda to go unanswered. This is our mission, and we will not falter.

I cannot count the times Vietnam veterans have worked to protect our current troops from the shame they felt when they came home from war. Some couldn't wear uniforms because they might face retribution from thankless Americans. Now these veterans show up on their Harleys, protect families at funerals for fallen soldiers and pray for America.

Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson (retired) is vice chairman of Move America Forward. The rabid behavior of Code Pink, Cindy Sheehan, International A.N.S.W.E.R. and the rest of the leftist loons galls him. When he speaks, he thanks all veterans.

"And to the Korean and Vietnam War veterans, welcome home," he says.

Those simple words that these veterans didn't hear from our country bring tears to our retired warriors' eyes.

To Veterans of the Korean and Vietnam Wars: our nation owes you long overdue thanks and honors your sacrifices and cherishes your patriotism. We love you and you never left us. We will always remember your service as valorous warriors with everlasting gratitude.

Thanks to all Korean War veterans and to Vietnam veterans who have Congressman Duncan Hunter’s good attitude about defense.

Thanks for the support. I have been getting more each day.

We will NEVER forget you. We will never stand by and allow traitors such as Jane Fonda to go unanswered. This is our mission, and we will not falter.

40 years too late and too many oceans of water under the bridge. No one seemed too concerned in the 70s and 80s when we were being excoriated by the Fonda/Kerry sycophants, kindly keep us out of your sweeping mea culpa today. Don't want it and don't need it.

I cannot count the times Vietnam veterans have worked to protect our current troops from the shame they felt when they came home from war.

I can't/won't speak for all of my Viet Nam brothers and sisters, but I think most (if not all) of us felt NO shame when we came back to the US after 'Nam. We were proud of what we did there and were overwhelmed at the antagonism and anger we experienced by ordinary citizens who bought the Cronkite/Fonda/Kerry lies about us. Yes, we work hard to protect our fellow brothers and sisters in the military today from the kind of garbage we got when we came back to the states (I won't say 'home' because we were never welcomed back). But it is the aging hippies, draft-dodgers, and socialist liars like Murtha, Kerry and Fonda supporters who should feel shame. The treatment we were accorded at the hands of our fellow citizens was, at best, despicable and the effects of that treatment continues to ripple through our society today.

Keep your thanks, Melanie, you're 40 years overdue and it is meaningless today.

I went to the rally yesterday in NV.
What a wonderful group of people supporting our troops and paying homage to veterans.
Buzz is a great speaker, speaks from the heart and the whole presentation was great.
Got to meet another FReeper, Syncro, super nice as most Freepers are and another FReeper who wanted to remain anonymous .
Diana Nagy sings like an angel and when she sings the Star Spangled banner, brings tears to your eyes and makes you stand prouder than ever.
Debbie Lee is a gold star Mother who lost her son in the war, is an excellent speaker. She is so proud of her son and all the troops, the troops call her Mama Lee. What can I say all were good.
I was really surprised at the small turnout by NV.
If this group is coming your way, please sent info to your local media.
Let's get huge turnouts at every stop. Hey let’s get a million cards to the troops. God Bless America and God Bless our troops.

The Good Side

[Little Bill]

We were there, it was a defining moment for many of us, for others it was a moment. We went on to have kids and and now Grandkids, we will neve forget those people.

[stand watie]

WELCOME HOME my brother-in-arms.

NOW we "old soldiers" HAVE to assure that what was "our sad lot" NEVER happens, EVER, again to ANY vet.

[DustyMoment]

Thank you, stand but, as I noted in my comment, it’s been too many years and too much water under the bridge. As a proud American, I cannot/will not forgive or forget those who stood in our way of resuming a normal life after ‘Nam. I was trained in avionics by the Navy, but I recall an interviewer at (what used to be) Rocky Mountain Bell telephone telling me that I wasn’t qualified to work for the phone company because I had radio experience in the Navy, not phone experience. Needless to say, I was floored and didn’t get the job. Things were so bad for ‘Nam vets, I re-enlisted with an eye toward making the Navy a career (I didn’t, however, I got out at the end of that enlistment).

But my story is not unique. I read about a guy who had driven supply trucks in ‘Nam applying for a job driving a delivery truck in NYC. The interviewer had the audacity to ask this guy, “just because you drove a supply truck in Viet Nam, what makes you think you can drive a delivery truck in New York City?”

Thanks, Cronkite. Thanks, Kerry. Thanks, Fonda. Thanks all of you morons who had so little faith in the US military and are so gullible that you bought into their lies.

40 years later, it still ripples through our society.

[stand watie]

"40 years later-----" =========> you are, i must say (SADLY), correct.

nonetheless, WELCOME HOME my brother.

[DustyMoment]

Thank you my brother and my FRiend.

I’m sorry if I’m on the bitter side, but I think I have good reason.

Most of the time I don’t think about it and don’t let it bother me. It’s just articles like this that make my blood boil.

And, from what little my dad told me about the Korean War, we didn’t get it quite as bad as they did.

Regards,
Dusty

[stand watie]

UNDERSTOOD.

NOW, we "old soldiers" have to ASSURE that as long as we're breathing that what happened to us NEVER, EVER, happens again to ANY veteran.

free dixie,sw

[DustyMoment]

Yew betcha!!

Already underway, mate!

:-)

[stand watie]

!!!!!!!!

once again, WELCOME HOME, my brother-in-arms. ====> in case you wonder why i always say that to RVN vets, it is because NOBODY (with the exception of mom/sweetie maybe) welcomed US home.

we "VietNam era vets" were "an embarrassment to America", so the main-SLIME media & the "smart set" said.

that's ONE reason i DESPISE the media/"smart set". they make me GAG!

we "VietNam era vets" were "an embarrassment to America", so the main-SLIME media & the "smart set" said.

I agree. The real embarrassments were the Cronkite/Kerry/Fonda/anti-war sycophants. I have to give them one thing, though, other than ending fear, oppression, slavery, communism, fascism, nazism and (hopefully, in the very near future) terrorism, war serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever! (/sarc)

that's ONE reason i DESPISE the media/"smart set". they make me GAG!

Likewise. These people are industrial strength clueless who still haven't come to grips with the fact that their right to BE industrial strength clueless is secured and guaranteed by the likes of us!!

[stand watie]

WELL SAID!!!

on "this day which shall live in infamy" may we all REMEMBER & HONOR not only "the fallen" but EVERY veteran/vet's survivors

AND

each of us brothers-in-arms faithfully promise to do all we can to assure what was done to the VN veterans NEVER happens to ANY vet again.
