Regardless of whether or not the tags are legit, it should still be applauded that she is at least MAKING AN EFFORT, to honor the troops that died over there. She spent her own money.. not the money of the tax payers of this country to purchase those tags.

I for one cannot understand your continued attacks at those of us who are looking for anything positive, no matter how small, in order to bring something home for the families of the soldiers that died there.

I am not angry at you CinFLA, just confused why, as a Vet who served over there, you would not at least acknowledge even the smallest success in her efforts are huge.

I also would like to thank you for serving. I cannot fathom how it felt to come home from Vietnam and be treated negatively for serving our country. I was just a young kid when that all happened.

I would politely ask that if you cannot support this thread in a positive way, that you would please refrain from posting at all.

Thank you again. Those of us in here, and at the USO CANTEEN - FREEPER STYLE do truly thank you for your service.

Sincerely, JG

I want the readers to also be aware that this is a well-known scam in Vietnam. That there are also legit organizations involved in this effort that PROPERLY document their tags. She should turn over all information and tags to one of those organizations.

Get real! You are trying to censor a Vietnam Vet on this issue? You don't want the readers to read the truth? Get REAL!

She laments (while looking at all the GI items) why the US government has not bothered to come over and buy it all. She probably paid several times the rate that legit organizations pay for legit items thus driving up the prices and increasing the amount of "made in Vietnam" merchandize on the market.

If YOUR wife was Vietnamese, you would know.
