Yes, we have their play book. Over 6 million Veterans served in Vietnam 58,000 of the names are on the black wall in D.C. Now is the time to restore the honor of the 6 million by correcting the wrongful depictions of our Vietnam Veterans. This will happen as we rally in defense of this generation of troops. Then we will go after the educrats who have perpetuated the 1971 Kerry lie. We will find all the text books that wrongfully depict our Vietnam hero's and replace them with the correct accounting of what happened. And then we will go after Hollywood that perpetuated the lie a couple dozen times one movie at a time. We will leave Mel Gibson alone because he was the only producer to get the story right with "We were Soldiers".

Yes we will defend the honor of this generation of troops while restoring the honor of our Vietnam era troops. And when we have met these objectives we will have one big welcome home party for this generation of troops and our Vietnam era troops.

God Bless all those who have ever worn the uniform of the United States Military. TD

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

Count me in.

Over 6 million Veterans served in Vietnam.

I believe it was less than half that number.

There are many who have utterly discraced the uniform, Kerry being one of them.

Awesome. Blessings to you and for all our troops!

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...

Right on! (As we said in the 60's.)

[stylin19a]

um....according to DOD stats, 2,709,965 served "in-country".

SLAP! (forehead) is was Right ON? not Right ARM ?
I suppose you're going to tell me it was "FAR out" ? not "FARM out" ?

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.

[PatriotCJC]

God Bless all Veterans, but Korean & Vietnam Vets deserve not only his blessing , but also God's pat on the back.

Come to DC on September 11 to remember 9-11-01 or 24 September to counter A.N.S.W.E.R. You can party on then brother.

[troop_defender]

Yes you are correct it was 3 million I do not know how I got the number 6 stuck in my brain. How do you make a correction?

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!

[Quinotto]

HOORAH!
