I went to Vietnam in 1965, along with a battalion of Marines mostly between the ages of 17 and 22...many of their names can be read on Panel 05-E at the Wall

What bothers me most about this is that Clinton voiced early on that he had political aspirations to "lead"...and eventually became Commander in Chief.

Even more troubling to me is that I also wear the PurpleHeart...and it's symbol is our first president....that saddens me...that a scum bag like this protested the war does not bother me at all...the disturbing thing is that perhaps one day, his profile or portrait may emblazen a military decoration, simply by virture of his status a POTUS.

I visited the wall soon after it opened. There was a squad of volunteer veterans there who helped people locate names on the wall. When I went, it was after dark and a full moon was shining on the black granite - it made the Wall seem even more beautiful and somber and almost overwhelming. The guy that showed me around with his flashlight said to me, "I'm doing this for my buddies. They're up there watching me." God bless them all.
