I'm no fan of Jane Fonda, but I think it honor the requests of retired Colonel Larry Carrigan and former Air Force pilot Jerry Driscoll and stop circulating certain portions of this story about Jane Fonda.

The message claims that Larry Carrigan reported the story about POW's slipping pieces of paper with their SS #'s into Jane's hand as she shook their hands. The message then claims that she then turned the papers over to the North Vietnamese captors and the POW's were beaten as a result. Carrigan says that this story did not come from him and that he never saw Fonda during his time as a POW.

The message claims that Jerry Driscoll reported that he spat at Fonda, an act for which he was brutally beaten. Driscoll denies this.

I never thought that story was true, but it probably will never go away. In a sense it stands as a symbol of her treason. Her whole mission to Hanoi was the same thing -- kill Americans and support North Vietnamese victory.

Thank you T'wit.

Tennessee_Bob, I had never heard this story before and as I said at the top of my post it was sent to me from a friend.

I agree with your post about it T'wit. Thank you for your comment.

Tennessee_Bob, thank you too for the links about it and I will go to them as well and read about it.
