Hooray for the article to Mr.Kerry, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the service you gave to MY country. With out your loyal service to protect and defend us we would be nowhere and Bush is doing a fine job too, unemployment rate is down(this can be verified on the Department of labor's website at www.bls.gov as of Jan 2004 we are at 5.6 percent compared to aug 2003 at 6.1 percent but I know I don't have to tell you that as you are a smart man. Anyway a big thank you to you for making my country a better place, Signed another Vietnam Veterans Wife Pamela Powell

Hi Don, Loved the letter about Hanoi John. He sounds good now with his promises to the veterans just to get a vote. He hurt us Vietnam veterans. I was there in 1968-69 (Big Red One) and again in 1991-92 (USARVN). I was in the Infantry and never saw what he is spreading. I spent many hours in the bush. We were always kind to the locals, were some VC?, maybe, but you cannot tell. I am sure some of them must have appreciated us also. Kerry will not get one vote from my family for the hurt he bestowed upon us Vietnam Veterans and Americfa. I love your site, it is great. I also wish you the best of luck in the future. I am a 20 year military retiree, E-7, one that has been there. larryd

Don, Thanks for all you have done for this country and all of man kind. I was in the U S Army durring the Viet Nam war era. I served as an M P in the states and W. Germany. My tour of duty was from 1962 to 1965, sorry to say we dident know a lot about Viet Nam at that time. I thank you for writting about John Kerry. I think it would be nice that everyone that had memories about Kerry while he was in Nam also write about them. If anyone reading this letter wants a reality check, just visit a Veteran hospital in your area, and see the men and women that fought for this country from ww11 untill the present. They fought for our freedom and our way of life, and then people like Kerry and Fonda come along and do what they do. Its a slap in the face to every Veteran that served this country in times or war or peace. I pray that God will bring U S citizens to get to know John Kerry as he really is. Thanks again Don and God Bless you and you family and efforts. Fred

Don thanks ever so much for your editorial on the Communist that is running for the president of the United States. I had seen other writings about him, but they conviently disappeared off the internet. I really believe that we will be in a heap of trouble with Kerry at the helm of our great nation. When I came home in 1962 from Viet Nam I was spit on and called baby killer like a lot of the fellas that came home during that time frame. A belated welcome home Don and kepp up the good work.

Mr. Bendell, First of all , I would like to extend a belated "WELCOME HOME". This country should be very ashamed for the way it treated Vietnam Veterans. The soldiers who served in that war did so with comittment, dedication, and honor. Kerry's post-Vietnam behavior was nothing short of treasonous. His collusion with radical elements to include the "V V A W" and Hanoi Jane Fonda proved that he was diametrically opposed to freedom and democratic values. Their efforts did not go unnoticed. Former NVA General Giap thanked the V V A W. In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S. Kerry and his merry band of "revolutionaries" did their damndest to re-enforce negative Vietnam Veteran stereotypes. His fabricated "testimony" before Congress involving "atrocities" he did not witness but "heard of" should have landed his sorry ass in jail for perjury. Further evidence of his character and ethical deficiencies are mentioned in recent news reports which outline his connections with the same Chinese arms merchants who gave campaign contributions to Clinton and Gore. Kerry is at best an opportunistic socialite and at worst, a socialist hack. And this is who the Democrats want as "Commander-In-Chief"? Thanks once again for your fine commentary!

A very good writing describing Mr. Kerry. It is difficult for me to understand why this is not mentioned on the MAJOR NEWS(CBS, ABC, NBC). Should Mr Kerry be nominated as the Democratic Candidate for President, I suggest that he choose Jane Fonda for his Vice President.

Don: Thanks for your Guest Opinion on John Kerry!!! As a retired, career Air Force pilot with a short B-52 tour in '66 and an RF-4 tour in '68, Hanoi John's use of his time in Vietnam makes me sick!! His rhetoric on the campaign trail is an "in you face" insult to all of us who spent a part of our lives "in country".

As a Senior Advisor "psywarrior" with MACV in Nam '65-'66 I can assure you we made every effort to ensure humane warfare, both US and Vietnamese troops.

I RECENTLY HAD THE PLEASURE OF READING YOU ARTICLE ON JOHN KERRY AND I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. I DID NOT GO TO VIETNAM BUT MY FOUR YEARS IN THE MARINE CORPS TAUGHT US THE VALUE OF FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOMS AND NOT TO GO TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND BRUTALIZE THEIR CITIZENS. I AM VERY HAPPY THAT YOU AND OTHER VETS FEEL THE SAME AS I DO. YOU VETERANS OF VIETNAM HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME DURING AND AFTER THE WAR AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW PROUD I AM THAT YOU AND ALL THE OTHERS SERVED US WELL. KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT AND MAY GOD BLESS .

Seems to me that there are only two ways to rise to the top. One way is to conduct your life so as to be an inspiration to others .... the other is to diminish and demean the achievements of others, pushing them down in order to make yourself appear taller. Don't stand anywhere near this Kerry fellow ... he seems to be the type to climb right over you! Naval Aviator, 3 carrier cruises to Vietnam, 1964 - 1967.

Don, I've read your commentary about Mr. Kerry, and I'm afraid I have to plead ignorance about the points you sited, as I never served in 'nam and have no military service at all. However, I do work for DoD now, and from my perspective, president Bush is not "all that", either! He has tried, (and is still trying), to de-rail the careers of civilian employees by running interference on our raises, abeting another BRAC round, and promoting out-sourcing to private contractors. All-in-all, I think politicians SUCK;...there has been very few in the last 2 or 3 decades that even tried to keep their words on ANY important policies, and as I am beginning my 17th year in Federal service, I'm just hoping I can keep my job long enough to retire. My thanks & gratitude to you, though, for your heroic service to our country, and for the sacrifices that you and yours', have endured! Sincerely, Dave

Just a sugestion and I realize this is a personal call, but Rush Limbaugh's show has a 25 million listener audience. Anything that can be done by vets like yourself has to help the cause.

As a combat vet who has borne the brunt of our nations actions in Vietnam, bearing freedoms sword, and felt the embarrassment and scorn heaped upon the warriors from that conflict, I salute you for your varied writing accomplishments as evidenced on this site. I invite those who pass here to visit my "Vietnam Picture Tour, from the lens and poet’s pen of a combat infantryman, from one who's walked the walk, and can talk the talk...Take a walk in "the park" with the 1st Air Cavalry on combat patrol, that in reality will give you the sweet and sour taste of "the Nam" on your tongue, leave the pungent smell of "the Nam" acrid in your nostrils, and embed textures of "the Nam" in your brain as though you walked beside me in combat.

Greetings Don , I was born and raise in a patriotic family, this includes supporting this nations president and the men and women that so proudly put the uniform on every day in honor of it. I'm not sure where Kerry is coming from, and frankly I don't care. It's ashame that he can't stop for a minute and support the president and our troops, but , what do I know,my gr. grnddaddy walked across France in ww1, my grnddaddy flew B24s in the south pacific in ww2,my father in korea, and my husband brought back proud scars from Desert Storm as a ranger.

Unfortunately, we have always had these political weathervanes mealymouths who have no touch with reality. Sort of like Snivel Chamberlain or Acibides. We had them back in the Great War when I served in the South Pacific jungles with the 1st (Marines). Notice he is backing away from that. War is hell but there is a time to stand up and kick butt. George Bush, for all his perceived faults did just that, and for that I respect him far more than Kerry who could not even run his own state properly. and he wants to run the US? Good God, what have we come to?

I to was in Viet Nam in 1967-68. I was assigned to the Special Forces at MOC HUA as a Physician to the 100+ men and to the local civilian hospital. I spent more time attending the sick and wounded Vietnamese than my own troops. As a member of this elite group of men I am proud to say that there where no wrong doings reported before or during my year in country. We saved many civilians who whould have died if not for us. We established a fine hospital for the people and gave food and clothing to them all. I did see the the slaughter of men, women, and children by the Viet Cong. Whole villages destroyed by them. We tried to pick up the pieces, but the people were afraid to get to friendly. If John Kerry did these things then he should not be our next President. I do not like war, but I will support my president and our fighting men to the end.

As a former Air Force officer it sickens and saddens me to know that people such as Kerry have such a loud voice via all the liberal media and the truth is suppressed about him and his liberal agenda. I did not have the privilage of being in Nam because my assignments took me elsewhere, however, I hold our veterans of Vietnam in a special place in my heart as they sacrificed for us and then were spit on by fellow citizens and the pukes such as Fonda, Kerry, and the rest of the liberals in Hollywood and the press. Real heros, such as President Bush, never get the recognition they deserve because it take big onions to speak what you believe and then stand behind it with decisive action. If that moron Gore or that whoremaster former President Clinton had been in office we would be sharing our meal now with those towel heads and our women and children would be living in a hell hole situation. It is about time the good people of the US ban together and vote to keep President Bush in office so that 9-11 does not occur again, as it surely will if Kerry and is buddies get into office. At best he is a liar, sneak, cheat, backstabber,and a sell out to whatever group best fits his needs at the time. The tapes of 9-11 should play everyday to keep reminding people this could happen again; especially if the types such as Kerry get into power. God help us if they do.

As I said in my email to you, Don, I'd share a foxhole with you any day. And I hope you get NATIONAL AIR TIME with the open letter you wrote to "Hanoi John Kerry." You and I both know, that if the political winds (polls)changed to show Kerry's "Victicrats" (aka: the infamous "Democommies") again favoring trashing our Vietnam vet's, he'd put on his old face, toss a few more medals over the White House fence and call "Hanoi Jane Fonda" for a national reunion. My battle plan? As you have begun to....EXPOSE THIS EMPTY SUIT FOR WHAT HE IS. LET'S HEAR WHAT THOSE PURPLE HEARTS WERE FOR. LET'S HEAR HOW HE "CALLED THEM IN" TO GET HIS TOUR CUT AT 4 MONTHS. LET'S HEAR FROM THOSE "SEALS" WHO SERVED UNDER HIM OR IN HIS MIDST "IN COUNTRY." AND FINALLY, LET'S HEAR OVER AND OVER WHAT HE HAD TO SAY SINCE HE RETURNED FROM 'NAM AND WHO HE REALLY SUPPORTS.

I did a 7 month tour off vietnam on the USS Intrepid in a Skyraider squadron in 1966. Our birds had a big Thunder Bee on the side of them. Maybe you saw us out there. I then volunteered and went in-country for 14 months. But instead of going back to the ungreatfull public in the States at the time, I went to the Philippines for a few of years, where we were still appreciated. I gave 30 years of service and now work Civil Service in the High Desert at China Lake. In Vietnam we all pitched in to help the ville's around the bases and camps throughout the country. John Hanoi Kerry sherked his duties as an Officer in the Navy, if he saw any of these types of offenses going on. I'd like to hear what the Seals he was with, about their take on his statements. Wasn't there one of his men in the news a few years ago? I'll try your books when I get a chance. Welcome Home Don, AOCM Bill McCracken USN (RET)

Don, Thank you for your service to our country in Vietnam and for your honest assessment of Senator Kerry. My father was in the AF for 25 years and served during Vietnam, my brother retired from the Navy and my husband and I both retired honorably from the AF (serving 29 and 20 yrs respectively). This man has violated all honor codes and does not speak for us. He showed his true colors when he "threw" his medals back in his countrys face. God Bless you for your efforts.

It was refreshing to read all the different comments from some real heros. I missed it because of age but I have a special feeling for every soul that served in Nam. Gentlemen, this is a time when each of us must vote and get friends to vote so we don't get some jerk like Kerry in the white house. All vets, Nam or others deserve a good and decent person like George Bush. He put it all on the line to protect this country with many of you caring out the mission. As vets we must do what ever it takes to head off this Moron named Kerry.

Don, I really appreciate your patriotism, and speaking out against John Kerry. He is a snake in the grass. If he were to become president this country would go Marxist. Everything we have honored in america would be rewritten, and destroyed. I was in Vietnam, and really felt sympathy for those poor people. I helped get people from Hipong to Siagon etc. Seemed like we sat on the Red river Delta for ages with no mail. Would love to meet you.

Ooohrah, Sir! Thank you for your eloquent insight into the character of Senator Kerry, alias Hanoi John. I too served in the Republic of Vietnam. My tour in Vietnam as a United States Marine was from Jan 1967 to Feb 1968, never venturing south of Da Nang, and only then to arrive and depart country. I think most of us witnessed or heard of some such attrocities as Mr. Kerry related, but to group 500,000 brave enlisted men and officers into that category is extremely unfair, both to us and to our families. He surely did not witness them during his brief 120-day stay in country. A man of this character does not need to and can not be allowed to lead this great country of ours. The word must get out. Thank you, sir for doing what you do and saying what you say. ...and if no one has told you lately, welcome home, sir.

I have seen these young folks march off to defend their country without reservation and am so proud of them. They truely represent what is good in this country. It hurts me to hear the bleeding heart liberal, Hollyweird types belittle our Commander in Chief and not put their full support behind our soldiers. To me, John Kerry fits in this mold as well. God bless our troops, God bless our President and God bless America!

I loved your open letter to John Kerry. My husband spent 20 years in the Navy, both active and as a reservist, and was recalled for Desert Storm. My nephew is right now serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom, he's 19 years old. My great uncle was a tail gunner in WWII, his plane was shot down over Germany and he was a POW for nearly two years in Stalag 17B. Mr. Kerry's lies, rhetoric and views are a slap in the face to all our service men and women....and he is a threat to the security of our nation should he, God forbid, be elected.

Thanks for writing the open letter to Kerry. As a VN vet, I agree 100% with you. Kerry provided propaganda support for the enemy by jumping in front of cameras protesting the war and rubbing shoulders with Hanoi Jane. I hope all thinking Americans know that a "leopard does not change its spots". Kerry was a traitor then and still is. He would just as soon try and negotiate with the terrorist via the UN commies.

Hi Don, Thank You for the article you wrote on "kerry." I too spent time in Nam, with the 3rd Marine Division. I also know what it's like to pay the price. I still have the scars of Agent Orange. I also lost my prostate at the age of 49, and still dealing with other issues. I find it hard that a person who, was supposed to be a Vet, could make comment's like he has, and not show us any support. I do not consider him a patriot... Though we fought for his "right" to speak his mind. How ever "I will not allow," a person like kerry effect me or my family. Besides writing letters, voting at the polls, and passing info on to other's, are the greatest things we can do to show our feelings about people like him. Thank You Again......... God Bless, our Nation, and President Bush a great leader and a "true man of GOD." May the Lord Jesus continue to bless you and your family. In Christ Rev.

Don, As a Viet Vet, I want to thank you for your stance on the war and for your truthfulness...something of which John Kerry obviously has NO CLUE. I spent a total of 2 1/2 years in SEA, from Okinawa to Laos and never saw any activities the sort of which Kerry lies any where in any form. Everywhere I went, we did our best to be a good representative of our nation. If John Kerry saw what he claims, he apparently was a poor representative of his nation and has no business being President. Keep up the good work. By the way, would you consider the aforementioned office when our current great President steps down in 2008? Len

Don, First of all WELCOME HOME! As a Viet Nam vet (69-70) I want to thank you for your letter. It really tells the truth. As a vet I also saw a lot of action and NEVER did I see any of the garbage that Mr. Kerry claims to have seen. If Mr. Kerry is so proud of his medals and accomplishments in Viet Nam, then why did he claim to throw them away and disgrace our flag by wearing it as a distress signal? He lied about the medals, (which he fessed up to at a much later date because he got caught) so why would we believe anything esle he has to say? I believe that sometimes if people like Mr. Kerry, are just wanna-bes that never really saw REAL action. So they have to sensationalize it for the press. I know that is the norm in politics. I am also very proud of the National Guard, my son serving and several of my friends are serving at this moment in Iraq. I for one believe that we finally have a President in that is not afraid to tell the truth, unlike some of our past presidents. Once again WELCOME HOME and God Bless you for your efforts. Dan Carter.

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the truth as you wrote it in your open letter to Kerry.To me he is a life time member of the Jane Fonda Club.It is beyond my understanding how anyone who served there could ever be lucky enough to make it back and then become a truncoat.Kerry made remarks recently about not being a real fighter if you did not carry an M-16. I think Senator McCain and other plane jockeys might take him to task on such statements.The best I remember from those days long ago the fellows in those ejection seats only carried automatic pistols.Many of those pilots and crew members fought with handguns, I wonder what Kerry would say about them.I will make my voice heard come election day and I too like the job our President has done. I like the man he is and his Christian soul and his commitment to do what is good for all the people of this country not just a few. Thank you for your service on behalf of the greatest country on the face of the Earth. Thank you for having the spirit of the USA and telling the truth about Kerry. I have sent it to all who are in my address book except for the one who sent it to me. God Bless you and your loved ones and the USA.

Ironic, I was just about to e-mail my contact at the Marine Corps League, Westchester,NY chapter to write about my disdain at the way Sen Kerry and his cronies are trying to denegrate the service of National guardsmen and Reservists during the Viet Nam war. It should be remembered that there was a draft at the time, and many of us chose to be in "the Reserves" or "Guard" while still in college (yes, we didn't all go to college in order to get a deferrment). I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1959 (19 years of age) and was honorably discharged in 1965. many Green Berets and Marines were already in country at that time. I served proudly as a marine and was ready, if activated, to serve my country in Viet Nam or elsewhere. So too did President Bush serve his country in the same way, by volunteering, not running. Thank you for your eloquent letter and your sacrifices for our country! To Senator Kerry..... As for all this rhetoric about whether or notPresident Bush showed up for drills: Mr Kerry wake up and use your brain, you do not get your wings as a fighter pilot without going through the intensive training at flight school. President Bush was a fighter pilot, get it? As for supporting your country, your behaviour here seems to add credence to what people allege about your personal life: You treated your country like a mistress, when you tired of her you threw "your" medals over the White House gate...if you wanted to break off your "love affair" with the USA you should have just left, but I guess it's in your character not to leave but to betray her and go for the free ride. You have dishonored yourself (who cares?) and have attempted to dishonor all Americans past, present and future who have served,are serving, or will serve in the National Guard and Reserves of our great and wonderful nation. I wish you well, and hope that you quickly move to that villa in the Hanoi suburbs and leave the rest of us "HONORABLY DISCHARGED" veterans alone!

Re: your open letter to Kerry. Well-done. In view of the anal exam every public figure evidently must undergo, has anyone out there followed K's RVN saga, and checked out his performance day-to-day? Like his performance motorboating around IV Corps?
