"Today we award Rocky Versace the first Medal of Honor given to an Army POW for actions taken during captivity in Southeast Asia," Bush said. Glad to see President Bush do this. It's more of an honor than if Slick Willie had been the president. If Clinton waited, I'm glad. I give him credit for not besmirching the solemnity and dignity of the honor.

Too bad it took so long.

"The last time they heard his voice, he was singing 'God Bless America' at the top of his lungs," Bush said.

But there are whack-jobs out there who don't want our children singing that "establishment of religion" song in our schools.

I find it amazing so many can say with a straight face these men were executed in a way that was undeniably a war crime then turn around and berate the US for possible atrocities in Korea 50 yrs ago.

Rocky Versace defied them...Bill Clinton and his communist-sympathizing friends like Senator Tom Harkin embraced them.

Quite a contrast.

I'm sure Rocky's commie tormenters did or will follow his orders explicitly and go to hell...no doubt there is a nice hot spot there for fellow travelers as well.
