This is a great thread.
"Living well is the greatest revenge."
I agree with all said here that it is how we live and recognize vets, etc. It is the attitude that we want to see change...for all Americans. Our children need to be proud of their parents. We must teach them all that we have ignored. That's a start. Oh so much to say but I think you have all covered it so beautifully. New Bumper sticker: Kiss a Vietnam Vet CTW

Never Ever Kerry

As far as I am concerned the only acceptable outcome from any of this is the absolute and unconditional surrender of John Kerry and his complete removal from any future involvement in American politics. Nothing less would be acceptable. Mad

I think LewWaters has a point. The Swift Vets have now fought TWICE for us, and it's time others fight for them and ALL vets. There are many ways to carry the torch. I completely lost it a few weeks ago when I read about the Iraq war Vet who was home from Iraq for some R&R after being wounded. This guy was at a concert, and some leftover from the 60's attacked him from behind and started beating on him while yelling all the same old insults of yesterday (baby killer etc etc). Nobody in the crowd helped this guy..NOBODY.

I turned to the wife and yelled "it's happening all over again because of that dirtbag Kerry and his tratorous campaign retoric against Iraq. If ANYBODY in your frigging family votes for kerry I'm going to blowtorch them, divorce me if you want"".

I guess what I'm saying is that the Vets have always protected us abroad, and we need to protect them HERE. The guy who beat on that Iraq war vet would be on life support if I was in that crowd. I seriously think I would have killed him with my bare hands. Do anything you can. Buy them a beer at the local bar, pay for their dinner at the local eatery, tell their stories, listen to their stories, preserve their history, honor their service, and most of all THANK them whenever you see them.

I'm with you on that one Hellfire. I'd murder any one who defamed a vet in my presence. Evil or Very Mad

Digger,

It's not murder, it's justifiable homicide!

Get your Viet Nam Veteran license plates! I have them on my truck here in Hawaii and the one in Texas.

When I came home from Saudi Arabia in 91 I was surprised by the reception we got. There were high school bands in the airport in Bangor, Maine. The place was crazy at McCord AFB in New Jersey.

For the rest of my career I had one pair of fatigues with the Desert Storm combat patch, but all the rest had my Viet Nam patch.

Welcome Home Viet Nam Veterans!

Aloha,
Al

Might I suggest we be so bold as to demand an accounting from John Kerry for the POW and MIA committee he chaired in 1992. This Committee wrote of the MIAs in Vietnam so that Bill Clinton and John Kerry could normalize releations with Vietnam. What was required of Vietnam to normalize these relations. Squat.

This though is not a fight we are able to take on ourselves. Individually we have no power. We can write letters until the cows come home. They will go on deaf ears. President Bush said in his speach yesterday that he has political chips to use and he will use them. Well, do we not think the the Swift Boat Veterans now have some chips of their own. Why are we not using them?

I want some one to come and try to put me back in a closet !!!

I'm out, vocal, and still damn mad. Evil or Very Mad

As far as I'm concerned, ALL of these people of the kerry ilk are going to be made to pay for what they've done to this country and its veterans.

The list is long, but we will never quit.... Organize and fight the bastards!!!

Who's next???

There's a book out hter called "BOHICA" thta is very revelaing about our POW's. I don't know if it's still inprint, but it's worth looking for.
It states that there were live POW's sited, and that they were never rescued.

I definately think it's time to go on the attack and not give up until we get an absolute unconditional surrender from the Kerry camp and the news media both. I realize that this is a two front war, but we've been there before and won. In order to accomplish this mission we need to establish a good command infrastructure and a base of operations Swiftvets is a good starting place but these guys need a rest and they do deserve it after all. Has anybody got any suggestions? Smile
