I want to thank you for everything you've done for our country and everything you are doing for the honor of our vets. My father was in the Coast Guard from 59'-81' and was a Vietnam Era Vet. He was proud of his service to our country and proud of the men and women he served with. He absolutely loathed the anti-war movement, as I found out the first time he saw Jane Fonda on our television in the early 80's (I wasn't aware the my dad could curse like that. LOL). I don't know much about that time since I wasn't born till 70' and he didn't speak often about it, but I know he would have been behind you 200% if he were alive today. It's your efforts that are preserving the respect and honor of all veterans of every service and for this you have my family's and my highest respect and deepest gratitude.
Sincerely,
Proud Daughter of a Veteran |

USCG...
I sure hope that the SBVFT signers are stopping in here every now and then to read such wonderful expressions of appreciation as you just penned.
That was terrific.
Welcome aboard! |

Thank you Coastie Daughter.
My step-daugter, who was part of a 3 ring marriage ceremony in 1974, and my son who was born in '75 both share your views.
It's rewarding that at least some of my kids' generation have the sense to understand what we were fighting for.
Too bad that many of my own generation, Kerry included, don't! _________________ On Sale! Order in lots of 100 now at velero@rcn.com Free for the cost of shipping All profits (if any, especially now) go to Swiftvets. The author of "Sink Kerry Swiftly" ---ASPB |

Please feel free to repost it on the "Vets Only" board. Since I'm not a vet, I didn't want to disrespect the rules. |

I would just like to thank all vets for their service to this country. I'm too old now to go in and have a family to worry about now but I have always regreted not going into the service in some sort of capacity. When I see the brotherhood you guys share I have to admit I'm a bit jealous. I wish I some how could have experienced what vets share with one another. You guys are my heros and I try everyday to teach my kids to give you the respect you so rightfully deserve. Thank you again!! _________________ politics cafe |
