From Camelot Lee, on Fri, 10 Mar 2000 23:08:02 GMT (in response to: YOU MAKE ME SICK!)
The older generation would love to go back to their country, but it is no longer there. Their homes are gone, families torn apart all over the world. Have you seen the countryside in LAOS and VIETNAM? There are large craters in the earth from bombs? Who would want to go to a place that does not exists but in our dreams? Why would we go back to our country? I am not asking for a handout, I just want recognition for those non-Americans who help fight for freedom of their country. What about those who did not get a proper burial? What about those families who can not find closure in their lives after the war? Americans get the proper burial rights, why not those who help fight the fight on the other side?
