2. I think I'm going to

3. Today is a bad day for me

Edited on Thu Nov-11-04 08:44 PM by burrowowl

I thought of my Grandfather, WWI vet, my friends (now deceased) in the French Resistance, my Father (WWII vet), work camp and concentration camp victems (I knew of), a survivor of the last hugh bombing of WWII of Royan (SW France0, etc.
The making of New Vets who will be treated like or whose than VN vets and ....
I am angry about Kerry loosing but today I am very depressed.
Where have all the flowers gone ....
Do the poppies of Flanders fields still exist?
All I know is that each and everyone I thought of today would be very angry at the American election of 2/11/04

5. You must be really sad!

I only got shot at protesting at UNM during the VN war and gave some advice to people wanting to go to Canada.
I have met VN vets in the street, present day now and it wrenches my heart.
May I :cry: with you.
