Anti-war protest in Washigton
Dear Editor,
Re: Gathering of Eagles, Miracle in Washington
My name is Roger Swift. I just finished reading your article on the Gathering of Eagles. I am a Viet Nam vet, 69 years old, and was unable to go to the gathering at the Wall etc.
I thank you for the coverage that you gave to our side.
I have to ask you this, why does the media concentrate on the deaths and the bad side of a war? Why can’t they report the good that our Military is doing over there?
In round numbers, we have had 3,300 military killed in Iraq since it started, 4 years ago. There are more than that killed in Washington D.C. every year, yet they want us out of IRAQ? Lets get out of WASHINGTON D.C.! 55 to 60 thousand killed on our highways each YEAR, no protest!
I’ll get off of my soap-box now, before this turns into a 500 page book.
Thank you again for reporting the GOOD SIDE!
Roger W. Swift
