I think a party for our Vietnam Veterans is in order. Perhaps a place like Soldier Field would be appropriate.

Over 6 million Veterans served in Vietnam.I believe it was less than half that number.

God Bless all those who have ever worn the uniform of the United States MilitaryThere are many who have utterly discraced the uniform, Kerry being one of them.

It has become my passion to keep this generation of troops from experiencing the same mistreatments of my Vietnam era older brothers. Favorite Movie "We Were Soldiers"....from troop_defender profile
Although I have never served, it has become my passion as well. I will not sit silent, as many did in the 60's and 70's, as our Troops are being denigrated or put in harms way by the ranting of the loons among us. I saw what it did to those who experienced such; one should never have to hide the fact, or not be proud, of wearing our countries flag on their uniform.
Thank you for serving...it is the least I owe to you, and all the others, who have kept this country safe...

B.G. Burkett's "Stolen Valor" doesn't receive enough attention any more.
It debunks most of the so-called "conventional wisdom" about Vietnam-era veterans in a highly professional manner.

This Leatherneck would like to punt the leftist scum, who disgraced themselves and this country, by their treatment of ALL Vets, especially VNVs, onto the sunny shores of commie Cuba. Right where the bastards belong.
VNV's, Welcome Home!
