WARNING: To ANY politician who votes for or approves this bill.
I will personally make a list of all the yes votes
and distribute this list to EVERY VFW and American Legion Post
to make sure YOU lose every Veteran Vote possible.

I urge all VETERANS to lobby the Senate
before they pass this bill and lobby President Bush to veto it if it ends up on his desk.
We owe it to our Brothers and Sisters who gave their lives and to all our POW and MIA's.

Bump! Just saw a show with real Nam POW'S on tv today...some held for as long as 9 years. Couldn't help but cry. This is a heartbreaking issue.

National POW/MIA Recognition Day
Friday, September 21, 2001
(Observed each year on the third Friday of September)

Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO)

Subject: MIA Search Teams Deploy to Vietnam

Most of the men in Vietnam who were not recovered were simply blown to bits. It sickens me how stupid 80s movies like Rambo and Missing in Action played on the emotions of families who lost their love ones in the conflict.

Your statement is an even greater myth than Rambo. Large numbers who were never returned were last known to be alive on the ground. Those "blown to bits" are a tiny minority of those still officially missing.

You need to avoid making definitive statements on subjects about which you obviously know very little.

Check out U.S. Veteran Dispatch

Our congressional allies in this are few. They include:

Senator Bob Smith (NH)
Senator Charles Grassley (IA)
Congressman Duncan Hunter (CA)
Congressman Dan Burton (IN)
Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (CA)

Vietnam vets in congress who supported normalization and undoubtedly support this include:

John McCain, John Kerry, Chuck Robb, David Bonior and Tom Daschle, all of whom, not coincidentally, aren't worth the powder to blow 'em up, IMO.

Always an OPERATION BOLD MARINER thanks for the flag, TGYC. I'll always appreciate your telling me what you and I served in, but I never knew by name.

Some stuff in my profile however, might indicate why I AM WITH THIS!

For all seemingly lost behind us, I still believe we eventually will have won the war!

Number One, Always to you, Buddy.

Thanks for your help on the list of who is for and who is against us!
Welcome Home!

"The pact would remove one of the last vestiges of a war that..." saw the United States abandon its own on the battlefield, and finally "...ended 26 years ago with the defeat of South Vietnamese forces and the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

I meant, I AM WITH THE TRADE PACT! given the chance I didn't make myself clear.

I DO, yet believe, WE will have yet won the war!

Brother, I respect your viewpoint.
You earned the right to "vote" on this issue.
And you are man enough to state your "vote" in public
unlike the House "voice vote."
The BIG difference is their vote effects the entire nation.

Welcome Home Brother!
