6. One More time. I Was there. Not more than 25' from JK.

He threw his RIBBONS and then proceeded to throw medals while saying in a CLEAR and LOUD voice and "these are for some of those who can't be with us today".

You know,I never took his words literally-for 25+ years I always thought that the medal gesture was symbolic of war dead. Rather than a close friend who gave him the medals to toss.

Those 3 days in Washington D.C. in April 1971, changed my life forever. I threw my best friends ribbons,too. He sent them to me....from Saigon.
