A little history lesson:

What happened when Democrats in Congress cut off funding for the Vietnam War?

Yes, I know what happened — here and there. I tried to give my son a history lesson before he made up his mind — strangely — it didn’t matter — he said the strangest thing (it seems now). He said, “This country is worth dying for — our way of life is worth dying for and it needs protection to keep it.” I looked into his baby blue eyes and realized he believes that with all his heart.

My golden boy — all 6’4” of muscle and might — a perfect body, perfect eyesight, perfect teeth (okay, dad and I popped for the braces), an arm any team in the league would die for, loves his country and his Marines more than I can fathom, but I love my Marine even more — so I love his Marines.

good find...been looking for those dates, as well as the dates congresscritters cut funding in 1970, while I was there.
