The "Vietnam Veterans of America" out of Ottawa, Kansas was serving coffee and donuts. Pretty cool of the old boys - they also gave out magnetic decals to Veterans, but unfortunately they won't stick to an aluminum F-150. Salute to the Old-timers!

What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.

I'm a member of both organizations now, but while the WW II and Korea vets were still around, we were looked down on like a whore in church! Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!
