Right on, Jim! Last I heard, each of us had the same rights to "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" regardless of whether we were black, blue, purple, green or white. I expect every ex-service man will agree with that, too.

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 > > >
