Choked Up Today - Vietnam

[doc540]

Both humbled and honored today when my friend, Larry McCabe, surprised me with his Dak To (Hill 875), North Vietnamese, battle flag and militaria he's had since he was seriously wounded on that awful hill.

Larry took two, through-and-through AK rounds but after rehab insisted on returning to his squad instead of taking the ticket home.

It's the most significant gift a friend has ever given me. I will keep and treasure until I draw my last breath on God's green earth.

May God bless and keep ALL soldiers and patriots.

Thank you for your and your friends service.

Thank you, but to be clear, HE served.

I rolled the dice with my lottery number and didn't get called: 207/195

I am choked up too. God bless you Mr. McCabe and thank you so much for serving our country during such a time as Vietnam when so many were not respected for their service. We cannot make it up to you, but we can say thank you and we'll never forget.

Doc540 what are you going to do with your new treasures?

I don't know yet. I have them close by and frequently stop and ponder their significance.

In the future, they would be so valuable to a museum as well, if you could ever bear to part with them, even on loan. Children need to learn about Vietnam. There was not much in my American History books in the 80's. What I learned, I learned on my own.

and the history book will become lighter in the arena of the wars we as a nation have fought, lest some child in direct contravention to libtard ideals begin to idolize the dogs of war. We need to realize the current administration is paying lip service and playing politics with the soldier, marines, seamen and airmen and what the public feels. If children begin to think that a soldier(warmonger) is a honorable profession then we can't put the dogs of war into the cage and hide them from public view. we cannot control the populace thru intimidation, subjugation and humiliation, so we sweep all the wars, the men and women and the fighting people under the rug where we can minimize them and the effects they have and have had upon our lives. we can begin to show that the dogs of war are aberrant psychotic anti social animal undesirables they really are (at least in the libtards belief and fantasy world) and there fore minimize the effect that truly honorable men and women have upon our bassackwards societal norms and begin to create our illusional utopia that meets our standard of proper dignified reality. yes this may seem rambling and strange but give a few hours of thinking maybe you'll see

when we as a people are threatened, we must therefore become what we most despise, and cry havoc and slip the dogs of war
