The Odyessy Ends For Vietnam Vets
The Nathan Hale Institute | November 4, 2004

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.

fv, don't know if you saw this thread. How about the ceremonial burning of the much-used signs, the end (thank God!) of an era, and moving forward. (and here's hoping this will be the case with Terri some day very soon.)

Your website is wonderful -- great info, great links.

Bless you, califamily4W! Your post brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you, Swiftees, POWs, Vietnam vets, military heroes past and present, and patriotic Americans for fighting the good fight to defeat this dishonorable poseur.

And to all of you Vietnam vets who didn't hear it 30 years ago, THANK YOU for your service to this great country. God bless you, and God bless America!

You're right, it's not over -- I'm just so very thankful for the sbv and others who fought tooth and nail against kerry. And now we have better understanding of the past and what we're up against in the future.

Photo from Potlatch -- thanks, it's just right.

No, thank you all. You have been our best friends. You all here at Free Republic are just as brave, and dedicated as we were. I hand back your thanks with a thanks of my own. We are brothers and sisters now. Nothing can change that.

God bless my fallen commards, and God bless the United States of America. And....God Bless Free Republic. We won the battle of 2004. The country is safe, the children are safe, the world is safer, and all of us are in our beds, and the hand of God protects us (with a lot of help from the PATRIOTS). Rest assured that this Republic will stand for a long, long, long, time!

God Bless my brothers fighting to keep this world free. Keep them in the palm of God's right hand, and keep them strenghened to fight the evil that they see. Bring them home safe, and healthy. But Lord, if you take tham, take them into heaven, for they have served their time in Hell.

Keep going after him. You need help, the Freepers are here for you. Thank you. We are indeed a grateful nation. Its just too bad the anti war protesters were given so much more attention than the majority who supported you guys.

The Viet Nam War dead, the wounded and we who are still alive shout from the house tops, "We have been vindicated, at last"!
The traitor, Kerry, has been disgraced in defeat!

The left is forced to acknowledge the heroism of the VVs in order to support Kerry...

Children learn about the heroism of their formerly maligned fathers and grandfathers...

Kerry is forced to effectively retract his VVATW lies about rape and cutting off ears...

W wins...

...Poetic justice!

"Beware the vengeance of a patient man".

It took many, many years to finally achieve the so richly deserved Payback for Kerry $hitting On The Troops back in 1971 and beyond.

I hope he remembers it for a long, long time!

Jack.
