There are tears in my eyes, and it is very hard to type this.
Although I was too young to serve in Vietnam, I have spent a great deal of time reading books from soldier's who served at the time, and did so with honor and valor. A totally different Vietnam than Hanoi Kerry served in, obviously.
Thank you for your blood, your tears, your hearts, your sacrifices that you made to serve this country and my loved ones. I have read John Kerry's "Winter Soldier" testimony and I was just astounded, shocked, and fighting mad. Further, to hear that the VC played his speech to the POWs at the Hanoi Hilton over and over again to force them into confessing to crimes they didn't commit, well those are fighting words.
Anyone who calls you veterans, my heroes, war criminals better get his head screwed on straight. I am glad to help in any way. My financial support is all that I could afford right now, but I will continue to send more as I can.
And, for my brother-in-law, seriously wounded 3 times in Vietnam, who refused to leave his LRRP brothers and snuck out of the hospital the first 2 times to join back up with them, they finally HAD to send him home because his 3rd round of gunshot wounds (multiple hits) left him barely able to walk, I say thank you for restoring the truth and the pride in my U.S. soldier's service in Vietnam.
Do NOT stop until Hanoi Kerry apologizes to the 2.5 million servicemen who served in the Vietnam theater for his lies, falsehoods, and exaggerations, please. I would accept nothing less to remove the stain on my brother-in-laws reputation. He's a great man with huge wounds to this day and John Kerry's accusations are at the root of some of the pain. |

Thank you - that was very touching and I know any Swifts passing through will appreciate your comments.
And you know they're going to need money, so that's much appreciated too. Thanks, again! _________________ ~ Echo Juliet ~
