Band of Brothers
A group of civic leaders, including erstwhile presidential candidate Ross Perot, is holding a gathering in Branson, Mo., June 13-19, to honor Vietnam veterans. Here's a description from the event's Web site:
Thirty years have passed since the end of the Vietnam War. During those three decades, the brave men and women who served in that conflict have never been given the recognition they deserve for their heroic sacrifices in service to our country. Now, the time for that recognition has come. Welcome Home . . . America's Tribute to Vietnam Veterans will be the homecoming celebration they never received. . . .
Including veterans, their families and friends, 100,000 participants from across the country are expected to attend.
For Vietnam Veterans and their loved ones, and our nation, this celebration is profoundly important. By honoring those who answered their country's call during a difficult time in our nation's history, the legacy of duty, honor and country will be passed on to America's sons and daughters who will be called to serve in the future. It's an idea whose time has come. How much do you want to bet John Kerry is a no-show?

Smells a bit like Chamber of Commerce stunt to me.

From Coldwarvet's signature:
"Peace is our Profession"
Strategic Air Command - Motto
USAF 75-79 Security Police
That was a great motto but aircrew used to say the real motto of SAC was:
"Peace is our profession, mass destruction is our game"
SAC 1957 - 1960, B-47 Nav/Bomb |
