Joining the veterans day celebration to protest

[Racenut20]

Put on the old fatigues & jungle boots. Hang out the bronze star and purple heart. And break out the "Impeach the Deserter" sign. How long do you think I will last before they kick me out or have me arrested ?????

1. Well let us know!

For a Stewart guy, you're OK. Are you a member of VFP? If not, please consider joining us. Lots of like minded people.

Give em' hell!

2. Arrested? Highly unlikely

if all you plan on doing is donning your battle garb, etc. Now, kicking you out may be another story. I would hope though, that you'd be able to protest in peace in your own unique way.

3. Are these awards real?

Racenut20, just out of curiosity...the Bronze Star and Purple Heart you are going to "hang out" are actual awards that you earned correct? I mean these are awards listed on your DD-214 and verifiable? If not, please reconsider your plan of action. If you are against the President and the war...fine, but please do not cheapen the awards that some of us have sincerely earned, unless you have earned them yourself.

7. I'd throw someone else's medals...

over the White House fence, too, if asked to.

6. Perhaps you are underestimating vet's intelligence...

I overheard several at our last American Legion meeting cursing * policies.

8. All I got is my National Defense Ribbon .... which, as you know .....

..... every loon got when he left boot camp in the 60s.



The only action I saw was the decommissioning of two of the three ships I was on.
