[R-390] Veterans Day

[AI2Q]

Barry, Todd, et al:

As a Viet Nam combat veteran I can appreciate your sentiments. I was one of 
those who was spat upon when returning to the US after service in Southeast 
Asia. I recall kissing the ground when I returned to the good ol' USA. I 
also soon learned that my fellow veterans were my best support system at the 
time. What's more, most of us were opposed to the war.

As for what you call "Protest folks," all I can say is that a lot of my vet 
friends, and myself, look at the Occupy Wall Street people as true patriots, 
speaking out against the vast money resources corrupting politics and 
democracy, the banksters, and the greed on Wall Street.

Vy 73, AI2Q, Alex
