Subject: RE: BS: happy fourth of july to the world
HAPY July 18th, Missing In Action Day! MIA day, celibrates the death of Captain John Paul Jones. On the day he died, it was safe to love him again, and so, after getting the hero's welcome reserved for Viet Nam War Vet's after the Revolution (poverty and no job from the grateful government...) he died in France - the equivalent of dieing on the streets in New York today. Well that is it in a nut shell, go out and feed a MIA vet. You will find the Missing in Action of the Viet Nam war on wet corners and dark allyways where America hides its shame.
Help the guys all you can.
Cheers
Larry
