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 Military

There 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!

Much like the Swifties the Vietnam vets might be something the MSM has not counted on with all of this Sheehan stupidity. I get the feeling they are just hovering below the radar right now but are getting ready to heard.

Why limit the party to Vietnam Veterans? Why not all veterans show the support to our troops.

I was asked what the "Support our Troops" stickers meant. This guy was a liberal veteran who just could not get the hang of Patriotism. Why not have a million veteran march to support the troops?

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

Speaking for myself, no parties are necessary......we just need to make certain that our "Vietnam Experience" never, ever be repeated.

As a side note....is there anyone beside myself that just wishes that these vomit encrusted turds, pukes and maggots in the MSM were REQUIRED to wear visible ID indicating that they are part of the "Press Corps"?

Thank you sir for you service. A celebration for Viet Nam vets, and all veterans through today is overdue. Please add me to an organizational ping.
