Thanks for the B-day card, Mom and Dad, it was a real nice card. David, did you get the e-card I sent? The difference between the NFL football player who just died in Afghanistan and Kerry; The star football player turned down millions of dollars, power and fame to enlist in the Army, an opportunity to serve his country which he died for. Kerry, OTOH, turned down serving and possibly dying for his country for an opportunity for lots of money, power, and fame. The Football player is/was a hero. Kerry is not. Kerry threw his medals away in '71he said. Now he seems to 'want them back', for all to see. He also now admits he only threw the ribbons away, not the medals. Real committed to a cause, huh? Poser. The football player will never get the chance to do that, and wouldn't, he was authentic in his beliefs. I also did not like the VC war. If it had gone on much longer, I might well have ended up there. I sure hope I would have had the guts to do the right thing...and not for medals! Kerry had THREE Purple Hearts...he PUT HIMSELF in for them...I am very familiar with that game in the military, self promotion, the folks who do it are NEVER what they consider themselves to be! So, we should have a hypocritical poser in the White House? The Dems sure know how to pick 'em, don't they?-Ken
