Do you think we can raise enough money to build a bigger and better library then the Clinton library focused on capturing the true history about Vietnam? With out a dought the Vietnam library will get alot more visitors then the Clinton library.

Well, that definitely warrants at least looking into. I cruised the site a bit but didn't find anything about who is behind it.

You know... who's funding it... who's driving? They say that the story will be told from a certain point of view, but they aren't real specific about what that point of view is, except to say that they will try to be fair and balanced. Maybe it's there and I just missed it.

If they're truly about presenting the truth, it would certainly be a worthwhile cause.

This is one thing that's come out of this election - the need to correct the record about the war and its warriors. This could be really cool.

Anyone got time to check them out and write to the founders and get a little more detailed version of what they want to present and report back to us?

They write:
"Throughout America’s involvement in Vietnam, there would be
dissent and turmoil on the home front. How much of it was genuine,
homegrown aversion to the war, and how much was orchestrated
by outside influences supported by Hanoi and Moscow is still the
subject of debate. However, recently declassified KGB documents
strongly suggest that they were intimately involved with under-
mining the American support at home.
The Home Front - October 1965"

Probably worth learning more about...in my brief visit
there and two cents worth
