DEAR AMERICANS, WE STILL HAVE SOME "UNFINISHED BUSINESS"

GOPUSA.COM ^ | NOVEMBER 10, 2004 | DEBBIE DANIEL

[CHARLITE]

There is a large group of "walking dead" in our midst . . . and I cannot get them off my mind and heart. We ignored them once, and I pray we won't do it again.

If this past presidential election did nothing more than bring to the fore a story that we've not heard . . . we cannot in good conscience ignore it.

One, lone soldier, told his story several years ago, and we listened with "bated breath." But recently when the other side of the story was told, we slightly turned our heads and called it politics.

There was no "slight" with mine . . . it was turned completely. I'm convinced we have some "unfinished business" concerning thousands of men and women who came home from a war that mistreated them, to loved ones who disowned them, and to a country that spat in their faces . . . all because of one man.

I spent election eve watching the movie "Stolen Honor". It's not about the Swiftboat Veterans, although we owe a great debt of gratitude to them, but "Stolen Honor" is about the men who served as prisoners of war for six and seven years being tortured at the hands of the North Vietnamese - and it got worse because of that one man's voice.

They told their story in "Stolen Honor", but we shunned them, too.

How can we have that many American soldiers, who were there, coming forward to tell their side of a story and we won't listen? One man told his and it became immortalized as truth . . . the only truth.

Does it make us feel better to stick with the one man's story? Then we have no apologies to make? Then we can move on with our lives? And then we can bury all of it . . . finally?

But these "walking dead" can't even find solace while waiting for their graves to be dug. The wounds have been reopened only to have the knife dig deeper, the pain hurt more, and the scars much more visible.

We have a Vietnam Memorial on the Mall in Washington, D.C. that honors 58,000 dead men and women who served their country honorably. Americans come by the thousands to pay tribute to these brave soldiers who lost their lives, but we won't take the time of day to say "thanks" to those still living who also served honorably.

It's as if these are the "bad ones" . . . only these living soldiers committed the atrocities of which that one man accused them.

These, who are still living, learned a long time ago to muzzle their mouths and suppress the awfulness of that war. Their greatest reward would have been to die along with the others.

The dead were brought home to finally have a wall built in their honor, but the living were to suffer a slow agonizing death for the rest of their lives. And we've been satisfied to let them.

I would implore you, Americans everywhere, to help us find a way to honor our "living" soldiers of Vietnam, for when they are finally laid to rest, there won't be a "wall of gratitude" built with their name on it, but they can go to their graves knowing their country did love them.

They will never know any gratitude for fighting in a war on our behalf . . . unless we tell them. They served their country . . . and for that, and that alone, we should be grateful.

As we approach this Veteran's Day, I hope that we can reach out to these soldiers and "bring them home again" . . . not with spit on their faces; not with bile thrown at their bodies, but with love and kindness for a job well done.

I exhort all of us to find a Vietnam Veteran somewhere . . . seek them out, to shake a hand, hug a neck, or say, "I never had the opportunity to thank you for your service in Vietnam, but I want to now."

In light of all that's happened in the past few months, they will know exactly what you're talking about and nothing more needs to be said. Nothing at all . . . that's it.

We can do this.

You talk about healing? I'll say no more.

I think I'll send my Dad flowers

He was touched when I called to thank him a few Veteran's Days back and he had some kid thank him out of the blue which almost made him cry.

It means a lot.

Thanks for posting.

[Freesofar]

I plan on doing this and do it all the time , I don't wait for veterans Day to do it.

Thanks to all Viet Nam vets

.

I VOW to the 58,000 + names on
The Viet Nam Wall who never came home

"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all."

MSM still refuses to tell the real story about Hanoi Kerry!

ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
is part of THE cover up of the election.

Do you wonder why the Left whines about the election results?

They still think Hanoi Kerry is a "war hero"

They don't know what a traitor he is!

And I don't know about you but
I'm sick and tired of the Right media saying
"what an honorable man Senator Kerry is"

Why isn't the Right all over Hanoi Kerry
to be impeached from the US Senate?

"In a bombshell development that could have turned President Bush's victory into a landslide
had it come out before the election, John Kerry wrote in his Vietnam war diary that
he met with "terrorists" in Paris - a revelation that "flabbergasted" his running mate John Edwards."

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/11/7/101350.shtml

And still the MSM,
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
hide the truth from America.

And still 99 US Senators refuse to impeach this traitor.

Thank you!!!!!

This hits home in my heart harder than I can say. My brother was on point in the infantry in Vietnam. He's still alive, but we can't reach him.

File Not Found

The file you are looking for cannot be found on the GOPUSA web site.

I can't get the link to work. Can anyone help?

[MerryJ1]

I don't know the current status, but on October 18 or 22, a petition with 188,000 signatures (including mine) was delivered - delivery confirmed - to AG Ashcroft, Senate Majority Leader Frist, and VP Cheney (Senate President) for the investigation and indictment of John Kerry on a number of charges, including treason. You can find the petition, legal citations and cover letter(s) plus updates (if any) at federalistpatriots.com

[Fawnn]

Thank you....

Bump!

[Quix]

AMEN! THX.

[datura]

I know others in this forum have said this to you, but as a veteran of a later time, Thank You. Thank you for having the courage and honor to defend this nation, especially at a time when doing so wasn't "cool".

I was too young to go to that one, had to wait until the mullahs had just released the embassy hostages. I served with lots of guys that had 'Nam combat patches on their uniforms, and I learned countless things from them. Mostly, I learned first hand what kind of Hell jungle warfare really is, above combat elsewhere. And I learned how it was to not know who the enemy was, that they could be the one serving you chow at breakfast and then be a sapper in the wire that night. And I learned all kinds of ways to set deadly boobytraps for humans, as well as some extremely grisly ways to die that the VC taught our soldiers by making them watch their buddies die that way outside of rifle range.

The biggest lesson that I learned - and passed along to the squads and platoons I led - was to NEVER leave your buddy there alive. NEVER. If you had to cap him to save him from the enemy, so be it. We all took that pledge. And we all learned the lesson that the politicians be damned when the $hit hits the fan. We're not there to win a body count. We're there to win, and keep as many of us alive as we can.

Your generation of vets still has one last bit of unfinished business, and those of us who followed you want to help in any way we can. We MUST make Kerry sign his SF180 in order to show the world what a traitorous commie loving POS he was and still is. We cannot rest until he is unmasked before the world and humiliated completely. Humiliated to the point that suicide would be a relief for him, knowing that he doesn't have the courage to do it, and that he will be forced to live out his life completely broken, demoralized, and alone. Just like he left so many of you to die over there.

You can watch and learn about KERRY'S TREASON!, and more.

We MUST spread the word!!
This is a link to a page I put together full of video and audio links.

"Stolen Honor" video clips are at the top.
The Swiftvets news conference on C-SPAN was there.

An interview of Steve Gardner (the gunner that served under Kerry) is next and then the SwiftVets.com ads

There are many other links.

I put together 3 pages of info here about Kerry.

We MUST arm ourselves with ALL the facts. Then enlightened others - and spread the knowledge.

If you have a few minutes to spend - check out my 9/11 memorial page and turn up your speakers to hear "Have You Forgotten?"

Disclaimer: I do NOT make any money off of my site.
It's just a place for me to play.
When I can, I try to help.

Stay Strong,

A friend of mine said his wife watched this and he said his wife did a 180 on kerri. She hates this man for what he did. She is a canadian (marrried an american) and was all for kerri, f 9/11 and the whole lib spleeal. I think she might have seen the light! :)

[FightforFreedomCA]

I just had an idea. I'd like to make a big sign that says "Thank you Veterans!" on it and stand on an overpass or something on Thursday morning. Does anyone know how to make those big signs that you can print on multiple pages? I downloaded a Sore Loserman one in 2000, and it was great.

[AmericanVictory]

The greatest gift we could give them is to assist those who fought with them to change the present despicable Communist and corrupt crony capitalism regime regime in Hanoi and vindicate their sacrifice by establishing, finally, that which they were fighting for.

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

The Good Lord always remembers acts of selfless service. They will not be forgotten on that most important day, the day of Judgment, when their works do follow them.

My latest bumper sticker, replacing an anti-Kerry sticker:

You can make your own like this, at MakeStickers.com. The background template is under STICKER TEMPLATES: Political Themes: Armed Forces Bumper stickers. For this one, I used Arial Bold font, Royal Blue color.

This hits home with me. My father wanted to fight in the Vietnam war and even tried to slide his handicap past the medical examiners, but was found unable due to severe handicapping arthritis in his back, hip and leg, a locked hip joint from an accident. In his place, his brother went to serve after which my grandfather was killed in an auto accident. My uncle was allowed to return home as he was the only son left to take care of the family since my dad had been labeled as handicapped, which was worse than death at that time. My dad did manage to make a happy life with his high-school sweet heart and have three children. I think he feels cheated by life because he wasn't able to serve his country and I see him, when ever he gets a chance to thank a veteran of any conflict or war. He thanks them for their service and for their courage. Sometimes he prays with them or just says simply "God Bless You". I would like to thank my father for showing me strength, and I would like to take this time to thank all veterans of any war for giving me the write to sit her today and (even though I won't)bash the military. I however have too much respect and honor for our military men and women who give of themselves and are separated from their families by miles and war and communication problems.

What I really want to say to all these people who have given so unselfishly of themselves, is thank you. Thank you for giving us a reason for getting up in the morning and looking out at the sky and knowing that we are safe and we have men and women just like you out there right now making sure that we can sleep in our beds without the fear of an air strike or having to hide from bombs That our kids are being taken care of here because they are doing their jobs there. I know many of these men and women who are in my husband's unit. I have met them, talked with them, cooked Gumbo for them and watched them as they left for this war. I hope to see everyone of them come home. I can't imagine how it feels to loose someone. There have been injuries, but Got has protected them and kept them down to small numbers and non-life-threatening injuries.

Again, Thank you for serving. Thank you for being there when not many would have. Thank you for your courage, even those times that you did get scared, you persevered. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless you and strengthen you and build you up.

My sincerest gratitude.

You just have no idea. I came back from Nam after two tours in mid 71. Thank's to the SwiftVet's I some how got through the last few months. I sent them a little money. They helped me feel like I was part of the battle aginst that traitor Kerry. I broke down and cried Tuesday night. I hadn't cried like that sence the night I got back from Nam and wept like a baby in my moms kitchen. I'd made it back. I lived in a counrty at war with in it's own boarders for 731 days. Cities fighting terrorists in the streets. I'm selfish. I don't want my kids or grandkids to know what that's like for even one day. We fight our wars in other countries. Kill 'em over there don't fight 'em here. I spend some part of every day in Nam and I think of those guys fighting in southwest Asia every day. I tell every one of 'em I meet 'welcome home'. You want to see a Nam vet swell up and tear up. Tell 'em 'welcome home'. I absolutly dispise Kerry. You just have no idea.

[Buck Silverado]

Thank you very much!
I really mean that, but while you are at it, please extend this thank you to those other Forgotten Vietnam Veterans. By this I mean the thousands of South Vietnamese Veterans that now live here in our country. They fought along side of us, they died along side of us. Often they saved our lives just as we did theirs. They are proud, but they are very quite. They lost their country, family members, and way of life. They are thankful to be here assimilated into our culture the great melting pot. But they are even more forgotten than we American Veterans. Please include them in your thank you's and yours prayers.
