NEVER FORGET ...and Thank GOD we NEVER did.

...Los Angeles Times Reporter ANITA BUSCH is reporting in today's Los Angeles Times Calendar Section that...

.."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. Vietnam Actor DON DUONG (Pronounced "Dong") will be arriving in San Jose, California tomorrow with his family as a Free Man.

...After months of negotiations U.S. Government and Communist Vietnam Officials reached an agreement for DON DUONG to leave his native country and to live in the United States, permanently.

...Last September DON DUONG was proclaimed a Traitor to the Government and Peoples Army of Vietnam... for appearing as the North Vietnamese Army Commander who lost to MEL GIBSON in .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. after which long interrogations ensued to try and pressure him into signing a confession for his "Crimes." A Confession that DUONG never signed with punishment always just around the corner.

...The BUSH White House, .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. Personnel and others have all been working hard on DON DUONG's behalf ...each in our own ways. Reporter ANITA BUSCH has been a Jewel thru all of this.

GOD IS GOOD.

...DON DUONG's .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. Performance was worthy of a Golden Globe -&- OSCAR for Best Supporting Actor this year...

...not what he got instead.

Good news for Dong! The film was too painful for *me* to watch more than 20 minutes. I will give it another try.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Ronnie, that is wonderful news! Thank you for bringing Don's story to us and for working so hard on behalf of the country and people you love. (^:

Okay, how about we punish them; no trade, off limits for tourists, like Cuba. Pete Peterson and his wife could be influential in this matter--they lose money if no trade.

Nice to hear the unreasonable regime has decided to be reasonable, for a change.

I wonder what they want.

...As Former Congrressman BOB DORNAN and I Co-Narrated the Fall of SADDAM's Bronzed Statue on his National Talk Radio Show on this Day of Freedom, April 9, 2003...

...I shared DON DUONG's 1st Day of Freedom as he lands today in San Jose, California from a still Communist Vietnam ..a FREE MAN.

...BOB and I Co-Narrated the 2nd Airstrike on New York City's Tower 2 on September 11, 2003.

...Not knowing then that we were both witnessing the Death of Battle of IA DRANG-1965 .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. Hero RICK RESCORLA as Tower 2 so quickly came down on him after his already saving 1,000's of others...

...this Day of Freedom for Iraq is the Perfect Validation for the way RICK RESCORLA always lived his Life for US.


Sooo....

NEVER FORGET that HILLARY RODHAM, BILL CLINTON, JOHN KERRY, MICHAEL MOORE, MARTIN SHEEN and the like NEVER wanted to see this Freedom come to Iraq, just like they NEVER wanted this Freedom to live on in a once Free South Vietnam.

NEVER ever FORGET this.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...and that, WALTER CRONKITE, really is the way it is...

...despite the fact that you also NEVER wanted this Freedom to come to Iraq or Vietnam as well.


WALTER CRONKITE =
Friend of HILLARY


HILLARY RODHAM =
Friend of HO CHI MINH

It would really be great to get Bob Dornan back on air again.

I remember you mentioning to Bob the second air strike on Tower No. 2. I also remember that day waking up from dreaming of this horrific event.

[goldilucky]

I didn't know that Walter Cronkite was in so deep with the elite.
