My parents live in Fountain Valley. It is a wonderful place, and I, myself attended a junior college with 70% Vietnamese attendance. They went nuts when one store put up a picture of Ho Chi Min, and I'd suspect that 90% are voing for Bush.

Thanks for the ping.

I work with two young Americans who were born in Vietnam. They're working on their friends.

Many of my friends are Vietnamese-American. Very patriotic and pro-freedom. They know what it's like to live under the threat of Communism.

Kerry not only betrayed his fellow soldiers, he betrayed millions of (South) Vietnamese who risked everything for the cause of freedom. The war and its aftermath took a heavy toll on nearly every family who had supported the U.S. against the Viet Cong.

Fountain Valley's Mile Square Park was the site where BUSH's April 2003 Letter was read aloud to 1,000's of Freedom-Loving Vietnamese Americans, demonstrating for Freedom for Iraq, that promised during a BUSH Presidency:


Freedom's Return to:

Communist Vietnam
Communist North Korea
Communist Cuba


..as well as..


Freedom's Arrival to:

All the countries of the Middle East


...as our own best self-protection against future Terrorist Attacks here at home.


Loud cheers came back chanting over and over again...

Hold on, buddy! We about to give the bad man an 81 cm enema...

P.S. Before 1973, when I was headed for graduation in 1974, I thought I was going to Vietnam. After an induction physical in 1976, I lost out due to hearing loss (arms). My nation's troops have never been far from thought. My family's project is to send a package in time for Christmas.

Thank you, Ronnie. Everyday when I peacefully go about my business, I thank you, Ronnie, and your REAL band of brothers.

My daughter (5 Yrs.): "Thank you for saving my life and the life of our country. Thank you for making it possible for me to be an American home school girl."

Hang tight.

Next time - when you come to Minnesota, call me. Stay with me. Educate my family about your service. We need you more now then when you served back when. I have a new generation to raise and I need all the faithfull American help I can get.

You always have a berth, Sir. Give me the chance to honor your service...

The great thing about this election has been the fact that Americans who have lifestyles and cultures that don't exactly fit the white, european, Christian mold are more then making up for any votes losses from the disgruntled crowds who complain about them.

Good. That is what America has always been about. Thank you Little Siagon and fellow Americans.
