We have work to do.
I am not a Bush Minion -I support this President in this time of peril. The Free Nations of the World cannot afford the Luxury of a single Kerry Administration.

Thanks Greenhat.

My name is Norman Fagan. I served with Alpha Co., 3RD Recon Bn., 3RD Mar Div 8/68-9/69.

On two occasions, spent 4 nights in a row running night ambushes to stop sappers from setting mines in the Cua Viet River. PBR's were jittery. Took us under fire once. Guess they forgot we were there. Funny now but taking 50 Cal fire wasn't funny then.

Semper Fi

Well, now that I have finally let Keith Nolan off the string that he was swatting at....

I served in the 1/327th as a Platoon Leader post-Vietnam, served in 1st SOCOM in the early 80s and in Special Forces for the balance of the 80s.

10 years of service, '78-'88.

I served in the US Air Force from July 70 to Apr 74 as a Security Police Military Working Dog (Sentry/Patrol) Handler (K9), with service at Lackland AFB (Basic, SP School, MWD Handler School, and ten months as Kennel Support at dog school), Korat RTAFB, Thailand with 388th SPS, and finished up at Whiteman AFB, Missouri.

Then out for five years, and was going to go back into the AF. They offered me E-4, and my choice of bases. But I'd had to go back as a 'straight leg' SP, and they wouldn't give me dogs, plus the only choices they gave me was Minot, Malstrom and Grand Forks. So, I went and did 16+ years in the US Navy from May 79 to September 95 as an Electronics Technician (8 yrs) / Electricians Mate (8 yrs) with service all over the US and the world including in Desert Shield/Storm (Persian Gulf War I) from Aug 90 to Apr 91 onboard the USS Elmer Montgomery (FF-1082) as a member of the ship's UN merchant interdiction force boarding party.

I retired in September of 95, am 30% disabled through the VA, and live and work in middle Alabama just below Birmingham.

BZ to all of you, my fellow veterans! I am pro-Bush and anti-Kerry.

Those who understand, understand!

Those who do not understand, will never understand!

Woof!

Name is Ken Guyer, GMG. Served with the Danang Harbor Patrol from about July 1968 to December 1968, then with Cua Viet River Patrol on LCPL's with PBR Squadron 543 and Task Force Clearwater from December '68 to March '69. Then went back to Danang until I finished my tour.

Came back to the Tonkin Gulf on board the USS Jouett CG-29 (Used to be a DLG) in 1970 for a tour.

Nice to see this go vets only. I get just a little tired of those who were never there commenting on how great Kerry is. I have nothing but contempt for Kerry as a vet. He threw away his right to claim vet status when he tossed his, well not his, ribbons over the White House fence. And we he stood before congress and told of being a war criminal.

Cheers,
KG

I spent 11 years in the US navy from the tail end of Vietnam, was involved in the evacuation. So I'm not a battle veteran. I just know, as I've known for many years that Kerry is pond scum that does not deserve to lead this great country.

Just dropped in during my travels.
I served in the 600 ship navy of Ronald Reagan from 1980-1984 then 2 yrs reserves.
I see that CVN-76 ( The Ronald Reagan ) is making her way to the west coast.
As my screen name implies, I was a roof rat ( on Nimitz with an ASW squadron attached to CAG 8 at the time )

Anyways...enough about my "I love me post"... lol

This roof rat would like to share a couple of links with you river rats, et el.

Lets see if this will fly;

Dad was a "lifer" I grew up on military bases, 1952 ,I was 10-we were stationed in Erding Germany-got to see places like Dauchau ,Berlin -place's that left an impression. I have 3 high school friends on the wall-I lived in the "honor" barracks ,at Forbes -members of the honor guard went out weekly during that time.I know there is a civilian and a military set of values attitudes and understandings that impact what is acceptable or not.Fnks activities are an abomination-his military record is fishy -he is floatsom in a sea of puke. He is again splitting the the USA-and has out used his vetran card. There is a broken arrow alert,a call to respond.I hope to be with you all-as good as I can be. I was a small player and I want each of you to know you have my sincere respect. To those few who don't agree with me here,please note that I didn't call fnk a piece of **** or question his birthright! How Can I Help? Thanks,b
