G-d Bless you and thank you for your service.

I don't mean to be rude, but your thanks just don't mean anything to me. I was too badly screwed as the result of Kerry-Fonda and the lies they told. Sorry.

Thank you for your service, Sir.

It don’t mean nuthin’.

You're right. Most people have no concept of what "Veteran's Day" is about.

I see that you were Air Force. I was Navy. I got so badly screwed by the likes of John Kerry and Jane Fonda and Walter Cronkite and the lies they told, I just keep trying to forget all of this stuff. I'm not ashamed about my service, but, after enough Kerry-Fonda, I was made to feel that way.

I was in Cam Ranh Bay (the country club of Vietnam), where were you?

No apology needed.

Tuy Hoa Air Base 31st Fighter wing. Aircrew on AC119G gunship as we volunteered to be the radio op. My day job was in the COMM/NAV shop or on the flightline. I was there 68-69.

Vietnam is a beautiful country and the people in the South still love Americans.
My son has spent almost five years teaching in Shanghai and has traveled extensively throughout all of Asia.
Without question he says VN is his favorite country ... nicest people, great scenery and the best food.
Ironically, his train passed within 50 feet of the bridge I blew up in '67 that crossed the Ben Hai River separating North and South VN.

I’m sorry.....

Well, it figures, cut the pay of the ones that can’t quit and go some place for a “Decent Job”. This makes me sick!

“The proposed budget for the commemorations was $100 million,”

The Turd-in-Chiefs apology tour to India costs more than that. Way, way more.

I don’t have the words to adequately describe it, but that Vietnam Memorial picture is very touching and also sobering. Thanks for posting it.

Wow, we have something in common - I was the radio operator on a Navy P-3. We ran shipping patrols off the coast in 69.

[DustyMoment]

I appreciate your understanding.

God bless you, Marine. I’m glad you made it home alive.
