I'll never forget our landing in a U.S. Navy landing craft at the beaches of Qui Nhon before our being helilifted further inland to the Central Highlands and the 1st Major Battles for Freedom of the Vietnam War.

That was in the Lunar New Year 1965 ..The Year of the Horse.

We are now in the Lunar New Year 2005 ..The Year of the Rooster.

Wouldn't it be wonderful...
if the end of this Lunar New Year finds the Rooster singing his last song
...and it's a song of pure Joy,

...as we see Freedom's arrival to those beautiful long white sandy beaches of Vietnam,

...freeing the people there
to more freely LOVE one another..?

For, after all, isn't...

LOVE the Only Reality and

GOD is LOVE..?

Your words are far more eloquent than anything I could say.

I share your hope.

BTW,the beach landing wasn't at dawn,I trust.That would have been a bad time.
