Re: Whose Vietnam War history will prevail?
” Under the guise of honoring Vietnam veterans, thousands of activities are planned all over the country ranging from half-time ceremonies at college football games to curriculums for high school students.” How dare they honor Viet Nam veterans! That’s a slap in the face of the person who spit on my uniform at JFK airport in 1969. I still had bullet fragments in my arm and was suffering from the effects of malaria, but hey, I defended his right to spit . . .
