As a combat Vietnam Vet, I remember how I felt when I first heard this young Navy Lieutenant testify. I had been home from Vietnam for 4 years. Since I had been away from the war for so long, I believed Kerry. I thought to myself, "things sure have changed over there, hell, we were winning when I left." <br /> <br />I was ashamed, and like many of my brothers and sisters who served honorably in Vietnam, I stopped talking about my experiences there. Even though I never did anything wrong, "I thought my friends would think poorly of me". Now, I know Kerry lied, there are just too many vets coming forward saying, "it wasn't that way in Vietnam". <br /> <br />It wasn't that way, and I feel better now. I'm proud to say I am a Vietnam Veteran who fought for his country. If you want to listen, I will tell you about my experiences there. I have nothing to be ashamed of. <br /> <br />By the way, God Bless Zell and God Bless the Marine Corps!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7844464-109421266759842093?l=tommyhanks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121171043509620765noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844464.post-1095772351194943442004-09-21T09:11:00.000-04:002004-09-21T09:12:31.193-04:00<a href="http://www.tommyhanks.com">Click here for Tommy Hanks.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7844464-109577235119494344?l=tommyhanks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121171043509620765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844464.post-1095603416927191722004-09-19T10:15:00.000-04:002004-09-21T09:09:24.396-04:00<a href="http://rpc.bloglines.com/blogroll?html=1&id=thanks46">Click here for Tommy's favorite Blog Sites...</a> <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7844464-109560341692719172?l=tommyhanks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121171043509620765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844464.post-1094853985909376552004-09-10T18:03:00.000-04:002004-09-21T09:17:04.693-04:00This file will take a minute to load, but I promise, it will be worth <br />every second. <a href="http://www.gcsdistributing.com/ToOurParentsA.htm">Click on this link..</a> <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7844464-109485398590937655?l=tommyhanks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121171043509620765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844464.post-1094511469750461162004-09-06T18:57:00.000-04:002004-09-06T18:57:49.750-04:00<a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/57/1426/640/4%20stages.jpg'><img border='0' style='border:1px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/57/1426/320/4%20stages.jpg'></a><br />4 stages&nbsp;<a href='http://www.hello.com/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbh.gif' alt='Posted by Hello' border='0' style='border:0px;padding:0px;background:transparent;' align='absmiddle'></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7844464-109451146975046116?l=tommyhanks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121171043509620765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844464.post-1093956163654412132004-08-31T08:39:00.000-04:002004-09-07T11:05:35.496-04:00I will always remember this week, the last day of August 1997, and the 1st 6 days of September. On Aug. 31, 1997, Diana, the Princess of Wales, was killed in an automobile accident in a tunnel by the Seine in Paris. The accident also killed Emad Mohammed al-Fayed, the Harrod's heir. <br /> <br />As if that wasn't bad enough, over the next week we drove my 18 year old daughter off to start her freshman year in college. When I said good bye to my little girl, I was devasted. She's now 25, and I still miss my little girl.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7844464-109395616365441213?l=tommyhanks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121171043509620765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844464.post-1091542788986690162004-08-03T10:19:00.000-04:002004-09-05T19:37:56.736-04:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/57/1426/640/Punch.jpg"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/57/1426/320/Punch.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="http://www.hello.com/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" alt="Posted by Hello" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbh.gif" align="absMiddle" border="0" /></a> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7844464-109154278898669016?l=tommyhanks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121171043509620765noreply@blogger.com
