When
my family discovered that he was not on the wall, they asked why not?,
the answer they got was that you had to die in Vietnam , so if you got
hurt and died some place else you didn't get put on the wall, or if you
were stationed some place else but were involved with Vietnam you did not
get placed on the wall, to me and my family that was and still is a bunch
of crap. I am proud to be an American and I am proud to defend my
country, but I will be damned if I will let my country take advantage of
me and my fellow Americans in this callous and shameful way. The
government owes us some explanations, not only on our men but on any
living creature that served this country.
I am an animal lover and I
found out some horrible things in regards to the military dogs we sent
over there, and that was why I did a web page in titled Our Canine Heroes
and Friends, take a look at it . After knowing what they have done( or
not done) to our troops, I was shocked but not amazed to discover what
they had done to the dogs. My believe is that if it is a living thing and
can carry a rank and have a name then it should not be considered
equipment. Well I could go on all day, but this was the jest of why I
joined OJC.
