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.

It is good to see so many in America recognizing the sacrifices that those who served during the Viet Nam era made.

lawrence o'donnell on msnbc may have done more harm to kerry than he'd dare to admit with his vicious attack on O'Neill just a few days before the election. His shouts of "Liar, Liar" to O'Neill showed how far the left would go. o'donnell, himself, had no proof who was being truthful and who was lying, between the SwiftBoat Vets and kerry, but that did not stop his rants.

One factor that I do not recall anyone mentioning. None of those who "served" with kerry said anything negative. I wonder, did the idea associated with being a sailor who "served with the President" taint their comments? After all, they'd been mentioned in his book and failed to challenge his comments. To do so now would bring shame to themselves and their families.

The repudiation by the American electorate, by 3,500,000 votes, of John Kerry and all he stood for since his return from Vietnam is now and will remain forever the full vindication of all the Vietnam veterans who opposed him.

SwiftVets, This Vietnam Vet thanks you for volunteering and "Reporting for Duty" for a Final Mission.

Mission Accomplished!

I gave you my contribution, now I give you my undying gratitude.

Folks were worried about me if Kerry had won. On the deepest levels, I just did not know if I could bear another affront like that. To think that America might do that to us again, just did not compute.

I thank each and every one of you for voting from the heart and stopping this evil, evil man.

To all those lefties and DU folks, the damage that you caused, emotional and physical to us Nam Vets, will never go away until we are dead and buried. Most of us forgive you, but don't ever expect us to forget.

Bravo!!! God Bless the SwiftVets!

This isn't time to relax, though. The 'Rats are already promoting their version of the 2004 campaign, and the SwiftVets get dismissed as 'discredited Bush tactic'. Guess what story will get air time over the MainStreamMedia?

Don't let the MainStreamMedia get aways with it!

I'm with you. I want the fraud to be outted and humiliated. I did three tours there, 1966 - 1968 and I always was proud of my work.

Great piece! God Bless the Swiftees and POW's. They sailed into the teeth of the MSM and Kerry attacks with great courage.

This election should also bury the myth that the country has had a majority for the Vietnam protesters and advocates of appeasement and defeatism. The Kerry's and Fonda's were then and have always been a minority.

Well, in the new America, you didn't have to go into the street.

This is not over re honoring our Nam Vets. This is just the first chapter of a new book. We will never change minds of the scum of America, the elitist lunatic libs. However, we will get the rest of America to recognize them as the real evil in America, not our Nam Vets.

God Bless and enjoy these new chapters in your life.

Nov 3rd 2004 in this household will be treated as a holiday. We will have a cake, champagne and a toast to honor the vets who realized just what would happen to this great country under the traiterous and teasonous command of john kerry and vowed to do something about it and...they did!!!!!!!! That in our minds deserves a holiday. God bless all our vets and especially those who gave their blood for our freedom.

Thank you vets. God bless you all.

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.

This is the final mission that we vietnam vets want to see accomplished. The wounds and the deaths caused by this traitor can and will not be forgotten.

"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"


Hope you enjoyed that dance. Glad you did it. Justice was served. We no longer have a traitor threatening to move to the Oval Office. Instead...we have a second Term President George W. Bush. God IS good, always has been and always will be and to you...thank you for the time you put into Vietnam and the sacrifice you made. God bless you. You and your band of brothers have been exonerated. :) I could almost hear the sighs of relief from the granite wall. What a victory for the Vietnam Vets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess ole johnny never figured his 1971 testimony would come back all these years later to expose him for the liar he is. His whole Vietnam experience was supposed to launch him into the White House. Instead...it brought to the surface the ones who were betrayed by him and in the end...it was his demise. Vietnam was his demise. Justice!!!

GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR HEROIC MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR ARMED FORCES WHO ARE WILLING TO UNSELFISHLY PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE EVERYDAY OF THEIR LIVES SO THAT WE CAN ENJOY THE FREEDOM WE CALL AMERICA.

WE SALUTE ALL OF THE VIETNAM VETS FOR FIGHTING AND WINNING THIS ELECTION WAR FOR THE SOUL OF OUR COUNTRY. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
