1) Much of the dialogue lacks credibility and sounds affected like “gound pounder”.

2) There were no Viet Nam casualties with the surname Wieserman.

3) There is only 1 registered Veteran’s grave with the surname Wieserman, it is for a WWII Navy man from Pennsylvania – who survived until 1999.

4) There is only 1 registered grave for a “Stephen Davidson” – and that is for a man with that middle name who was a WWI Army soldier from Arkansas and survived until 1963.

5) There are 33 recorded “Donald Davidson” vetaran graves, but none of them has S for a middle initial.

Veterans day November 11th 2008
Thank you Veterans for your sacrifice,
for our Freedom.

We were not allowed to drive into San Francisco on weekends because they would recognize a military sticker or plate on the car and turn it over, whether men, wives or children were inside. Funny how friendly they could be if they didn’t know you had any military ties. Of course they were dirty and always begging for money on every business step. Sharp military soldiers stood out like sore thumbs among them.

Our soldiers are well trained and took this kind of treatment in stride. They know they took an oath to serve and protect the citizens of the United States, honor the Constitution and the laws afforded every citizen speaking out against them. Fighting the military was considered freedom of speech and our military were willing to give their lives to protect that right.

It is heart warming to see the vast changes now. We still have protesters and always will. But the majority of American’s go out of their way to treat the soldiers with respect and do everything they can to show them thanks. Most will tell you going thru an airport, people will not allow them to pay for their meals and thank them profusely for their service. It warms our hearts to witness that kindness today, considering the rough times the Viet-Nam guys and girls had. We couldn’t be more proud of them and the American people for changing attitudes.

Some people think our soldiers are war mongers. They are trained to fight and protect, not go in and massacre people to take over their countries. And believe me, this country is capable of doing a lot more than people understand. We use our weapons and military for good purposes and history shows we have always returned countries back to their own people. We won WWII and could have taken possession of all of it. That is not the United States way, despite the protesters version of us being the aggressor.

We have the most powerful military might in the world, our only fear is countries like Iran gaining nuclear weapons and using them against the entire world. That’s the danger that exists today, we are doing everything in our power to stop it from happening. The United States can’t keep taking all these tasks on for the rest of the world. It’s time other countries do their share helping!!! They are more at risk than we are, it’s in their back yard.

Someone needs to volunteer to join us in this fight against terrorism. Our soldiers have had some help, but many countries sit back as usual and expect the good old U.S.A. to protect them without much commitment on their behalf. They can hate us if they choose, but they always scream for our help to save them. Shows how fickle they are.

Van Allen was pleased you acknowledged his service years. The military life is not for sissys, but we enjoyed seeing parts of the world and doing things we never dreamed of. It was rough raising two boys while moving every two to three years, but they adjusted and are well rounded because of their experiences.

They will remember things they had an opportunity to do all their lives and know how blessed they were. However, both weren’t too interested in being military when they grew up. They lived it growing up and were ready to explore new territory.

They are still very proud of their Dad, their country and all the people that have the stamina to join and live the nomad life style. We were much better people because of it.

Military people form bonds that last life times. We were stationed off and on with people we knew for 20 years. You become like family to each other. Living so far from relatives, you learn to rely on each other in good times and bad. That’s sadly lacking in our business world today.

I better close, but you can tell I will stick up for military people whenever I have an opportunity. Sure we have some bad apples that make it hard for everyone else, but in general they are good decent people only wanting to serve their country. A little thanks once in a while makes it feel wonderful!!!

God Bless the United States and the people who serve us, we owe them everything!!! And God bless you and Jo Anne for caring.

Thanks,
Van Allen and Barbara I
