True story...my brother is a Marine Vietnam vet. Came home from vietnam to spitting and such. Couldn't understand the hatred. Was deployed to the Gulf War as an MP reservist. Came home in June after the war ended. The next month rode with me in my Vette in the July 4th parade in our town. People standing on the sidewalks ran up to him and shook his hand, thanked him, shouted thank you and waved the flag, even the announcer acknowledged his presence and said a word of thanks to him and the other troops in general. Brought tears to the old vets eyes and made me (his little sis) a little weepy too. He jokingly commented it sure was different than the return home from Vietnam. He looked great in his chocolate chip fatigues too. It was a great day.

Only if you hand around after the fact. Just take your couple of shots and split. That's all it will take anyway.

I have plans to be part of the welcoming committe and will be looking for those communists slime. They can say what they want. But if anything that resembles an assault occurs, then I'm going to beat those commies like a red-headed step child.

Be discreet. Don't let anybody see you.
