Thanks so much for a wonderful, very thorough reply, DMZFrank. And most of all, thanks to both of you for your brave service in support of America's liberties and freedoms. You both might be interested in revisiting a FR thread from four year ago about the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. A varied assortment of views are expressed in 56 posts.
May God Bless you both!
Thank you for your kind words. But I was just a simple aviation sailor on the flight deck and never had to dodge bullets like grunts do. I respect them the most. Still, I’m proud of all my 11 years in the US Navy.
