well he was concerned enough about YOUR Freedom.
Tell me what you have ever done to defend our country.
How dare you treat a Viet Nam Vet, or any Vet like this!

Thank you again Ragtime Cowgirl.
Conservatives are in favor of local control, not mobocracy. They don't call for a mass email campaign, from all over the country, directed against a small township over the rumor of a local ordinance issue, referred in print only in a press release. Sheesh.
Good idea! I sent an email to Rep. Cunningham this way. Also sent scathing emails to almost everyone in that city.
We don't? Watch us.
Here are just a FEW things about how the Vietnam Veteran was treated when HE came back from fighting for YOUR freedom and YOUR rights !!!!!!
Spit on ,literally spit on !!!!!!
Kept from and out of colleges and Universities because it might make waves to have him in the school since it is a LIBERAL institution and it might upset the wimpy coward students that were attending!!!!!
Kept from jobs, even jobs promised because having a Vietnam vet at work might upset the co -workers!!!!
Mothers telling their sons they did NOT want to hear about it!!!!!
Wives that did NOT wait for their man, and then he found out when he got home
Children asking their father returning..... why did you fight in an unpopular war Daddy???!!!!!!
Fathers telling their sons they were an embarassment to them because they fought in the Vietnam War!!!!!
The media calling them names and I am NOT going to put their lies here.......LIES everyone of them LIES !!!
Then lets add to this, Agent Orange shall we....I mean our government sure as heck did!!!!! Sores, blisters, celulitis, headaches, heart desease,Lupus,bone deteroration,infertility,cancer, high blood pressure....you name it ALL from Agent Orange a poison that has killed off MANY of our Vietnam Veterans!!!!
And you know what....when they were 'IN Country' nand thirsty.....after spraying with Agent Orange all over the place ....OUR men were told to SUCK and chew on the leaves for moisture to drink if they were out of water and could not move from their positions!!!!!!!
Add to this Jane Hanoi Fonda the Traitor and LBJ making tons off the lives of OUR men!!!
M-16's that did not work !!!!
LBJ selling our guns to Russia and Russia turning around and selling the ones that worked to the Viet Cong !!!
OK now take a look at the Vietnam veteran going to the VA hospital....OK.... some are good ones BUT many are bad!!! The vet makes an appt. and has to weeks in advance, then he gets there and has been known to have to sit there waiting for 5 hours or more for a doc that is LATE seeing him ,because he is at a conference and isn't even there.... BUT no one told the Vet sitting there. So they send him home to wait another few weeks or months!!!!!
Then they give them the wrong RX's and Vietnam veterans have had to learn as much as doctors so they are sure they were given the right medicine for their many ailments ,or like some thay did NOT study up about their ailments at libraries or online......and many of those VET's are DEAD, because of the wrong Rx!!!!!!
A frustrated vet from the Vietnam war drove his pickup through the front glass doors at a VA in Florida....and NO one could blame him.....it was out of total frustration at the treatment they were giving him.
No parades , no welcome home, NOTHING but spit on their faces!!!!!!
No memorial, no parties, no "My life can begin darling you are finally home"...For MOST of them.
But he went, he served , he did not RUN, he did not dodge the draft and MOST enlisted!!!
Vietnam vets were the smartest that fought in any war. They showed the most ability in any test in their schools or work places.
YOU, me , every American should go up to every Vietnam vet we see and say thank you and Welcome Home.I could care less if you do it in a Beverly Hills jewelry store or to a homelss Veteran crouched on a bench. THEY paid the price!!!!! They paid not only with their lives and with blood, they paid with self esteem and a courage that only men of Honor know about.They paid it and they paid it in FULL!!!!!
Thank God for the Vietnam Veteran!!!!
