Please...ALL of you vote for President Bush and Vice President Cheney on November 2nd. Please find some way to volunteer or pray to ensure victory on election day.

By doing this will result in the best WELCOME HOME any of us ever had.

Question to anyone who can provide an historical perspective (since I was only a toddler at the time), did any other group besides John Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War do similar damage - was anyone else as prominent in the anti-war movement? Was he the big dog or just the one who sought out the cameras the most?

Because if he was, then he is certainly and personally and MOST, over all others, directly responsible for the treatment these men received. And how anyone can vote for him knowing that is beyond me.

Your posts are VERY compelling and well-written.

Tears in my eyes...God bless you all. Vietnam Vets, as well as every Vet still living, and all their relatives. We are, and have always been, proud of you. Ashamed and angry at all those 'Americans' who hurt you.
We love you all.

BTTT with the utmost of respect for each of you.

I have hated the Son of a B$tch for 33 years, Pay back is a mother. By the way I spent 27 months in VN, 1965 through 68, with a short stay in the states in between, Army.

I can't say I have any good feelings for the scum sucking dirt bag either. Msgt, USAF, ret, Bien Hoa Air Base, RVN, 14 July 70 to 10 July 71.

Don't forget, ABC is the network which, on election night 2000, called the State of Florida as having gone for Gore a full hour before the polls had closed in Florida's Panhandle in the Central Time Zone, and called it with less than one-half of one percent of the precincts having reported in. Their intent was to discourage the last-hour voters in the heavily Republican Panhandle from voting at all. Election and media experts have since estimated that the early call most probably cost Bush at least 10,000 votes.

You are not exaggerating. Last month, I spoke with numerous panhandle residents in Destin, Ft. Walton Beach, and Pensacola.

The panhandle is heavily Republican, and on Central Time. Many people told me that folks waiting in long lines at polls (schools, municipal buildings, etc) gave up and went back to the parking lots when they heard on the radio that Florida had been called by the Networks for Gore that early.

Thanks for the ping!

John Kerry seems bewildered by the reaction of his "fellow vets." He has become defensive and angry because now his service and honor are being questioned. Kerry seems oblivious to the pain he caused Three decades ago when he stole all honor and dignity from those same "fellow vets" for personal gain. Now he wants to use them again, for the same reason.

Kerry must now finally be held accountable. The day of reckoning has come at last. We must all do whatever we can to see that justice is finally served!

Excellent post - thank you!

I could have put my daughter through a State Community College with my donations to Kerry opponents, rat, Pubbie, Libertarian. I despise the man, my war hero Senetor, puke.

Thank you and GOD BLESS.

Awesome post! Mass e-mailing done.

Thanks for the ping, Tonk!

My thanks to our Vietnam Vets, and to ALL our Vets, for their service to our country.

[LisaMalia]

Thanks for your service to our country.

Victoria has a father to be proud of, and I'm sure she knows it.

If your experiences in Vietnam are too personal to talk about, please feel free to share the story of my friend Billy with your daughter. He lost his life giving food to a begging Vietnamese child. He was lured onto a landmine.

I will never forget, as a 13 year old, crying at his casket, and promising to myself that I would never forget the buddy of my older brother. The sweet, honorable man who gave his life for our country.

And I haven't.

He, like you, are heros in my eyes.

I have kept this tagline for months, and will continue to do so until the traitor Kerry is defeated on November 2.

Stand proud, my friend.
