In the Media

Steve's Letter to the editor.

In 1972, Steve wrote a letter to the editor expressing outrage about Senator McGcevern's amnesty ideals and speaks about being disabled by multiple injuries sustained in Viet Nam.

"Boy, Is Senator McGovern's thinking sick. I was in the Marine Corps for and one half years and was wounded two times. I now have a 60 percent disability.

Did I want to fight? No. Was I scared? Hell, yes. Buthere comes a time in everyone's life when we must fight for what we believe. We can't always do what we rather because there is always someone a little smarter than we are who sees the situation from a better standpoint. But Senator McGovern is not this man. To grant amnesty to all the guys with red and yellow streaks down their backs will reduce our nation to a pack of whining, begging cowards. As for myself, "I'd rather fight than switch." Would I go to Viet Nam again fight for this great country? Yes. So don't let Senator McGovern take what we fought and turn itto something to be ashamed of.
