I remember how it was, and I hope these guys get their licks in:
Satisfaction and hopefully peace will come when Vietnam vets see and hear John F. Kerry give his concession speech the night of November 2, 2004 with the knowledge that it was their votes that helped defeat him. There are approximately 2.5 million Vietnam veterans in America and they have not forgotten.
Kerry denied them their rightful place as heroes and they will deny him his dream of the presidency. Angry Vietnam veterans, silent for so long, will finally have their say. Payment in full will be delivered to John Kerry on November 2, 2004.
Revenge is indeed a dish best served cold.
Posted by floridacracker at September 13, 2004 09:48 AMi second that. i watched most of the vets' gathering in D.C. yesterday and i was reminded of how badly they were treated when they returned home. where would our country have gotten the idea that these men were so terrible if it were not from the likes of Kerry and his gang?
if for no one else, i hope the viet nam vets get their day in November. they deserve it.

Posted by: ArklahomBoy at September 13, 2004 02:01 PMToo late* Kerry's got the vote rigged with the UN(november) and the electoral college is being.........changed as we speak.

Despite my embarassingly high 1969 draft # (360!), I'm pulling for the Vietnam Vets, not only for the survivors but for my dearest cousin Robert* and the others who died over there. You guys deserved better'n Kerry then, and both the living AND the dead deserve better now....

If you haven't been to the Virtual Wall, check it out. You can leave memorials and otherwise supplement what they have up for each name on the real Wall (dates of service, medals, outfits, etc.).
My, we are creatures of our times are we not?!
