FYI,
Seems Mr Ross Perot is organizing a Viet Nam Vet's true home coming this week June 13 to 19 in Branson Mo. He was on Hanity & Colmes last night
discussing the event. There will be mention of the V N vets that are still here and our fallen friends here now only in sprit. There will be a ceremony at the wall, and George W will also make a statement nationally. All major leaque teams this weekend will also pay tribute to the Veterans. Lets see how our
media covers this.

Just got back from Operation Homecoming in Branson. There were 25,000 to 30,000 Vietnam Vets there. We had a formation of about 80 Marines for the parade on Friday. My wife was sitting near the end of the parade route surrounded by a bunch of active Army folks down from Fort Leonard Wood, MO: We were in the middle of the parade right behind about 8 guys from the 82nd Airborne. As we came over the crest of a small hill with some high school girls from the Marine ROTC program from Forsyth, Arkansas High School in dress blues carring our banner followed by our color guard with the US Flag, and the Marine Corps Flag our formation followed dressed, covered, and in step. The guy next to my wife was heard to say, "damn Marines! always have to show everyone else how to do it."
