The Odyssey Ends For Vietnam Vets

They’re finally home and they kicked ass. Never defeated in a major battle in Vietnam, American Vietnam Vets finally came home this past Tuesday, November 2, 2004.

Led by John O’Neill and the Swift Boat Vets, America’s Vietnam Vets came home and threw the usurpers, the imposters and their leader out of the palace of our Republic and reclaimed their rightful place as our true heroes and leaders.

Their fellow citizens heard the truth of their words cloaked and ravaged for more than thirty years by the self-serving lies and slanders of pretend heroes.

Their intrepid spirit has been honored by the votes of millions of Americans who never forgot them and never wanted to believe the calumnies and lies of the usurpers.

On this coming Inauguration Day, the parade is not just for the re-election of our current commander-in-chief; it is the welcome home parade for our Vietnam Veterans, even the chastened Lt John Kerry.

God Bless the Swift Boat Vets, the POWs, the MIAs and all our Vietnam Vets.

A belated thank you from a grateful nation.

JMHO - but in the past we have heard stories of how unappreciated the Viet Nam Vets have felt because of the left. My view is this country rose up and in a loud and clear voice, validated its love for the Viet Nam Vets and clearly trounced their critics. Viet Nam Vets - your country has always loved you, and it just let the whole world know it!

FYI and please ping this for our Nam Vets.

Well said. God bless the Swiftvets.

A WDC rally at the W2 inaugural would be a nice touch.

I praise God for all the Veterans and POWs and that they prevailed in their quest to redeem their reputations and honor. I'm just sorry that it took so long, they have deserved our thanks for so long and I'm very happy to see and know that they have been vindicated. I understand that they are going to continue the fight.

Thank you! $125 I gave to SBVT this year is the best money I have spent; those guys did all the heavy lifting.

At 4:40AM Wednesday, Nov. 3rd, all alone and quiet, I went out to the middle of the street in my skivvies and did the George Huston "Happy Dance". Felt great!!

Waited 33 years to burn that SOB!!

Semper Fi

Many of us who never were vets, or never were near Viet Nam felt this way.

There is a God.

His justice has been served to Mr. Kerry.

They really were appreciated at the time by the people. We just didn't know back then how anti-American the Old Media was.

We felt like we were in the minority and were afraid to publicly express our appreciation. Even today, people like Rush repeat the lies that no one was waiting on the docks when our carriers returned.

We all had friends and family serving in Nam and we were proud and appreciative of them in exactly the same way we are of those serving in Iraq. There just weren't any yellow ribbons because the Michael Moores didn't have the George Bushes drowning them out.

I'm still in a "stunned" state of mind.
Just on election eve, I was in the local package store, and I kidded the staff we had dems that were going to take a shot everytime Kerry won a state, and pubs what were going to take a shot everytime W won a state. So they asked me who I was for. I said, "the President, I'm a vietnam vet". At that instant they both lowered their eyes like I was evil or something was wrong with me.
I really hope that we follow through on Kerry's record. I want it known far and wide his testimony in '71 was a pack of lies. And I also want his discharge papers shown. I'm betting a BCD or an Undesirable.
