Letters to VVAW

By VVAW

Dear VVAW

I hope you watched CBS Reports on January 23. It was Mike Wallace's "The Uncounted Enemy" showing how Westmoreland and the CIA lied to us....I cried and was sick for two days. I feel we should be doing something about this Hitler Westmoreland of the U.S. Army. Justice must be served. Fragging is too good for him, he must be made to suffer fro murders, treasons, over-running of our vets in 'Nam by the NVA.

We Gold Star Mothers should demand this murderer of our sons and daughters be put on a long trial, tried by us, and made to suffer as we parents who lost our sons, vets, MIA's POW's, amputees and Agent Orange victims are suffering. I am ready.

Every vet can stand proud after this expose'. Hoping to hear from you....

Peace

Dear VVAW,

I am a working vet. I did not think too much about going to war for my country when I was drafted, but after going to Vietnam two times and having been home for 13 years, then someone tells me I have something that has no answer—I want to find out all I can a bout chloracne or a liver condition or any other thing nobody on this earth has enough of an answer to accept. We are dying without answers. They say, "Try not to be alarmed by hearsay; go to your VA hospital." They have only a physical exam to give some time after the first of the year.

I have been going to a doctor for 2 years and not I find I may have been exposed to Agent Orange in Bien Hoa (1964-5) or Komtom (1967-8). If you have any information that could help me, thanks. I am going to the Vet Center and talking to whomever will hear me.

Thanks for hearing some more problems. I would like to make the May 12-15 in '82—would like more info.

Thanks,
Indianapolis, IN

Dear Friends,

I am giving what I can for your Operation Dewey Canyon IV. Wish I could go with you but I am an elderly widow in not too good health. You may remember me as the prison visitor at Sandston for CCCD and the CO men there. How I love all of you! I am putting the poster (the Dewey Canyon IV poster) in my house for all to see.

Love,

Dear Fellow Vets,

Please send us many copies of the flier calling for "Operation Dewey Canyon IV." We have many vets in this area interested in combatting the atrocities of the Reagan Administration.

See you in Washington!
