Thank you very much.

Since you're now familiar with both John F. Kerry and his biographer Douglas Brinkley, try this:

Douglas Brinkley is also a member of the Gang of 400, the 400 so-called "Historians in Defense of the Constitution", an academic mob that looked down from the Ivory Tower and decided that the people in flyover country should be told not to support impeachment of President "Slick Willy" Clinton. Brinkley was one of the 400+ signers of the full page petition and ad published in New York Times, Washington Post, et al, Oct. 30, 1998.

I remember a hot topic around CG Airstation San Francisco once was about an Army Officer who got arrested in Germany for marching in a war protest parade. I tried to explain to my fellow enlisted men that officers have a very different oath of office that precluds such activity. Someone should have explained it to JFKerry (he who wishes he were the real Navy hero and the real JFK!) Can you imagine Kennedy begging out early and going home to protest the war?

I went to your web site, and it doesn't seem to be congruent with the first part of your signature. However, I could be missing the "tongue-in-cheek" or "leg-being-pulled" aspect of your signature.

Welcome aboard kd4ybx! I was at Korat from Dec 71 to Dec 72. I doubt you ever saw me, but I more than likely saw you. I was Security Police K9, and one of those dark shadows out on the perimeter that you might have seen in a quick glimpse! Since I worked from sundown to sunup, most of you fly boys never saw us!

War Woof!

Yep, I remember going there for a cool drink sometimes. I'm sure that we did meet, and if so, then you met my dog! Cool!

This is a great site and I'm glad I found it. I was a Staff Sergent in the Air Force and spent almost two years based at Monkey Mountain, RVN ('67 - '6 Cool

. For better or worse, I haven't had a lot of contact with Navy vets, or at least not until the last few years. Recently, I've been working actively on behalf of the survivors of USS Liberty. We have set up a discussion board for that single issue only. If anyone is interested in supporting our Navy brothers, you can find it at http://usslibertyinquiry.com/forums .

I look forward to participating in this forum. One suggestion you might want to consider: over on the USS Liberty discussion board, we require everyone to use their real names. You would be amazed at what this does for responsible postings.

Keep up the great work!

Admin note:

Ron...I took the liberty of editing your link so it would work.
Welcome to the forum.

Thanks, Bro' - right back at you. I got over to Korat a few times. We worked with the Thuds and Phantoms that flew out of Korat and Takhli. We also had to recover there once when a typhoon kept us from landing at Da Nang. The people there sure were a lot more friendly than in my neighborhood.

It's great to read the words of real veterans on this site. I was EOD in Cam Ranh Bay 1971. Only had 28 years in service, but loved being a part of it. Keep up the attack.
