Wow - Now I know why the rest of the civilized world is out
to stamp out democracy and the American way, I would
very much like to Thank All who have provided the
effort in researching answers to my questions. I just
wonder if that , whatever he is, is grateful enough to
the many who died to keep his puny mind free to make
such snide remarks. I fought along side many of your
American citizens, and saw a number of my friends die
for the right of Freedom and Democracy, how about a
hearfelt Thank You to those who so eagerly served
so that this website could remain a freedom of inquiry and
American History. Yours Truly a former member of the French Foreign Legion, who fought during the Indochina
conflict and Vietnam.
