• Highlight the service of the armed forces during the Vietnam War and the contributions of federal agencies and governmental and non-governmental organizations that served with, or in support of, the armed forces.

• Pay tribute to the contributions made on the home front by the people of the United States during the Vietnam War.

• Highlight the advances in technology, science, and medicine related to the military research conducted during the Vietnam War.

Let’s see if they use Jane Fonda or the communist-led anti-Vietnam movement as examples of the freedom of speech we have, that our men protected with their lives.

I wouldn’t put anything past the Obama Administration and the Commission is a bureaucratic mess right now.

I don’t think they could honor a roll of toilet paper properly except to hire Bill Ayers showing how to blow it up.

Hmm...Looks like the South....

...Vietnam, that is.

This the same DOD that rigged a survey for their CIC to push
for Repeal of DADT and the law prohibiting gays from serving openly? Will they require as part of their diversity training for this honor that we hear the event officiated by retired Military who claim they served honorably as homosexuals?Much like the Obama nation did down in Az after the shooting. None of the papers said squat about any Mexicans or Indians being
wounded or killed. But they had that yakki prefesser yammer for 8 min to open the show,as if it was a powwow)
