Jim, It's is sad that in this day in time we have people that do not respect individual life, race, or creed. I used to attribute this racist behavior to ignorance, but now I am sickened by the possibility that this could be done by choice. I pray that this is only one Vick of the many good ones we have on the list, and that they may be able to see the errors in their thinking. The demonization of any group or race will kill this nations freedom.

"I believe that the Vick Mailing list is for whites and nigers should have their own mailing list"..... First of all I find it very hard to believe anyone today could take an offense to my post. I want to say that I did not mean to offend anyone, but all four of those Vick's were my comrades. Each and all four of them gave the ultimate, their life in defense of freedom and the American way of life. If it were not for these four and many, many more like them we likely would not be corresponding on this net today. I learned long ago to judge an individual by his/her deeds and not by the color of their skin. I am sorry I will not correspond with you direct and will do my best not to meet you on the net in the future. Your message to me made me latterly sick. Last I ask you, did the Caucasian Vick's give more than the Negro Vick's? Jim Vick Verona, Italy
