Anyone else notice the disparity between pics 109 and 123????
109= former Lt. John Kerry,in front of congress as an anti war crusader(anyone remember the Herman Munster look-a-like from a certain presidential campaign that tried to tout his war heroics??)
123= a certain Capt(?),John McCain being released from the Hanoi Hilton,after being detained as a POW.

Great photos. Thanks.
For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.
