Thanks for your service to our country from a fellow FL resident. My Dad was a WWII vet (Iwo Jima) and he would turn over in his grave if someone like Kerry was in the WH.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated but, in all fairness, I don't really consider myself a Vietnam vet. I was in-country on a 10-day detachment out of Japan and, at that, we were in what I consider the "country club" of Vietnam; Cam Ranh Bay, even so we saw some relatively minor skirmishes. The real Vietnam veterans are the grunts who manned the firebases and slogged through the rice paddies trying to win a war the US wasn't committed to winning.

Those are the men AND women to whom I look up. Guys like me don't really hold a candle to those folks.
