And another petition - this one is worth signing!

[tiburonfirst]

having been sidetracked to change.org recently i stumbled across this petition

http://www.change.org/petitions/the...f-flying-tiger-flight-739-on-the-vietnam-wall


now that's a petition worth signing! let's help get those fellers the recognition they deserve!

this is just very discouraging

The men of Flying Tiger Line Flight 739 gave their last full measure of devotion. Their sacrifice should be recognized the same of as the other Vietnam Veterans who gave their lives in service to their country. Time is running out for many of the people who would love to see their loved one's name on the memorial. Many of the widows of these men have died, are we going to let their children also die without seeing their dads honored? Please sign the petition and ask others to do the same. We need a groundswell of support to show the Department of Defense that Americans want their fallen Heros honored.

You might get a little more traffic if this was in "Outside".

But then you run the risk of it getting all twisted and contorted into some HUGE political debate by the "Outside Big Boys".

thank you!

but i'm still dumbfounded - 90 some odd men died on the way to vietnam and this petition can't reach 1000 signatures?
if having their names put up on the vietnam wall would bring some comfort to their families and recognition to those soldiers why not sign?
those guys did not have a choice - they were drafted ......................
