I stood 5 hours outside the polling place, holding up my sign from the Kerry Lied rally, it reads, "VIETNAM VETERAN'S AGAINST JOHN KERRY".
I have to look up the numbers, but I got a LOT of positive responses, however, Kerry took Connecticut.
here in alaska we salute you...and thanks for your bravery and thanks for the swift vets.....bless them God for taking a stand and going forth to make the people aware....
Thank you, VN Vets, for your service and your sacrifices in war time and in peace.
I didn't know you back then - I was too young (don't remember how young, exactly). But I'll never forget seeing some of you kissing the ground as you exited the plane. I don't know much about that or why you did that - but seeing that touched me even though I was young like that. Some things we just don't forget.
I never understood why we weren't taught much about you; I never understood it at all.
Suffice it to say that some of us are awake now - and we'll never forget. Thank you for your service to us then, and for your service to us now. You fought 2 wars - one over there and another over here. I think that is above and beyond the call of duty and may none of us ever forget.
That should be our new national motto - Never Forget!
Please keep the stories and documentation on the traitor Kerry from fading from memory.
Tonk, if your'e out there, you are loved by everyone here.
To all my fellow Freepers....Thank You!
Just as our great soldiers cannot be paid what they are worth, I swear there are no words good enough to express the debt of gratitude we owe to them!
All prayers and heartfelt gratitude to you, guys!
Revenge is a dish best served cold, and payback is Hell. Vets never quit, and the liberal media is next. Thanks to the POW's and the Swift Boat Veterans.
Just did what I was paid and trained to do.
You are more than welcome, and my humblest thanks for this tribute to our veterans.
I came to this country in 1969, a penniless immigrant, and managed to stay on by enlisting in the US Army.
It was a great honor to serve this country in Vietnam, and a greater one to take the oath of citizenship after my return.
Not a day goes by that I do not think of the comrades we left behind; frozen in our memories, forever young; or the millions we abandoned to communist slavery.
It has been my fondest wish over the last 30 years that I would live to see justice done and, now, I am seeing that wish become reality before my very eyes.
Amen. These heros have had to hold in alot of pain the last 25 years. If things continue tonight as they are now, I hope the victory will ease some of that pain.
I was fortunate to serve with many VietNam veterans and my respect for them is great. I come from a very conservative family and growing up in the turbulent late 60's and early 70's it was not easy to watch many of this country turn their backs on our fighting forces. One thing that will always stick in my mind is as my father said blessing at the table each evening, he always finished up the prayer with "And Bless the boys in VietNam, Amen".
As a freshman in High School, seniors were still graduating and called upon to serve in SE Asia and my chances were good that I would also. The conflict came to an end while I was in High School and I enlisted in the Air Force shortly after. My flight leaders and squadron commanders were all VietNam vets and they taught this young airman much about honor and patriotism for the American way of life. I will forever be thankful for the Vietnam Veterans sacrifices, courage and nobility and I salute each and every one of you.
Thank-you and God Bless.
It was a long time in coming but with the effort of the Swifties, they finally made it clear that the Viet Vets Honor is Clean!
In honor of the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on the Viet Nam Wall
