We need Ron Paul! He would bring the troops home, he would end the endless wars. We who were lucky enough to come home are called once more to save our nation. Ron Paul 2012... he has never forgotten.....

That happened two months after I returned from Vietnam, still quite 'shell-shocked' and suffering 'battle fatigue'. My Grandma believed that I was a 'baby - killer'. Welcome home, for sure. I'll never will forget the sights smells of death. We got used to the teargas. At 64, I still listen to the music; because, as my old friend Pinky Jean used to say: Music Saves! I can tell you, it sure does. St. Louis still couldn't handle a DNC meeting.

@Lq4utube Me, too. We should have a reunion. Except we failed. The Republican Party is still alive and fascist.

You all are a tough audience, I tell ya. Nowadays everyone has lockjaw except when economics or politics are the discussion.

,,and sometimes music when the group is under 60.

CPDCFD The truth is we failed and that is why things are so screwed up now. This country is far more influenced by big business and the screw balls of "The Family" like Don Coe. To understand them, read the book. Here is a taste. These guys organized the prayer breakfasts in the white house. Don Coe asked, "Who in the 20 th century understood Christ the best?" His answer, "Hitler, Stalin and Mao because they understood power and Christ was all about power." The world is weird, CPDCFD
