Subject: RE: AMERICAN ATTACKS**PART ELEVEN: Long Haul
I've noticed a few notes in reference to the troops that go in our stead. I'm a pacifist - to a degree. Having fought in Viet Nam and "experienced" the homecoming so common back then. I'm near tears when I see these references to support for the troops - whether we agree with the cause or not.
"When Johnny comes marchin home again, Hurrah - Hurrah . . . . .

I don't know if this is thread creep or not (actually do not know what that means) but a Veteran of Korea died yesterday. A Shoshone Warrior who joined as a SeaBee but ended up behind a machinegun on the Pusan Perimeter in Korea. Always a happy person to be around, gave me a key to his home, where I lived for two years, said what he meant and meant what he said. I will miss him dearly -

He would have loved to hear the words about supporting the troops. Ask some of the Indian Veterans about their home coming - I am proud to have known him - be proud of those who serve you -

Peace - Steve
