Mother’s Day is one of the most celebrated holidays of the year. Children and adults of all ages honor their moth-ers on this day.

History tells us that in 1872 Julia Ward Howe, a poet and writer who lived in Boston, Massachusetts, made the first suggestion to celebrate Mother’s Day in the United States. She sug-gested that “people observe a Mother’s Day on June 2nd as a day dedicated to peace.”

Then, a Kentucky school-teacher named Mary Towles Sasseen started conducting Mother’s Day celebrations in 1887. Frank E. Hering of South Bend, Indiana started

a campaign for celebrating Mother’s Day in 1904.

However, “the woman who started the Mother’s Day holiday we celebrate now was Anna M. Jarvis. She was born in a small town called Grafton, Virginia. Jarvis founded Mother’s Day in honor of her own mother, Anna Reeves Jarvis, who died on the second Sunday in May, 1905.” She also started the tradition of wear-ing a carnation. Today, it is customary to wear a red flower if your mother is liv-ing and a white flower if she is deceased.

After an extensive letter writing campaign, (Anna wrote over 10,000 letters according to W.W. Gore), and gaining the support of religious as well as newspa-per and government leaders, President Woodrow Wilson announced that Congress had voted to make Mother’s Day a national

holiday. The date was May 8, 1914 and Wilson said, “Ev-eryone everywhere should honor the mothers of our country.” Mother’s Day has been on the second Sunday in May ever since then.

Moreover, in 1934, Presi-dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, an ardent stamp collector, chose James Abbot McNeill Whistler’s famous painting known as “Whistler’s Moth-er” to be on a stamp that year. And, the words found on the stamp, “In Memory and Honor of the Mothers of America,” pays tribute to mothers everywhere.

In our own neighborhood, we honor on this Mother’s Day Jeanne Courtice. She was born in New York and moved to California and attended UC Santa Barbara. She and her husband Stu have been married for 56 years. They have lived in

Temple City since 1961. They have two children Steve and Debbie and 4 grandchildren: Jennifer, Stephanie, Kevin and Lizzie. Jeanne worked for the Alhambra School District for 15 years. According to Jeanne, Mother’s Day is “an occasion to celebrate a most important job and getting together with family.” Jeanne is very proud of her children and her grandchildren and all of their accomplishments.

Another local mom we honor on this Mother’s Day is Jan White. Jan was born at Garfield Hospital in Alhambra and has lived in El Monte since 1948. She remembers her first job was at the El Monte Hardware Store at the age of 13. Then a few years later she got a job at the JCP’s in El Monte at the Valley Mall. She gradu-ated from Nativity School

“We are asking for business in the San Gabriel Valley to join us at this important com-munity job fair,” said Coun-cilman Juventino “J” Gomez, who serves as co-chair of the event along with his col-league Mayor Pro Tem Norma Macias. “These sponsorships will help us to attract even

more job-seekers, leading to better candidates for local businesses and ensuring more of our residents get back to work.”

The El Monte Job Fair will be a one-stop venue for employers to meet with thou-sands of local job-seekers. Last year’s successful event

attracted more than 3,000 participants.

“This job fair will connect employers with thousands of qualified potential employ-ees,” said Mayor Pro Tem Norma Macias. “I hope many of the businesses in the City of El Monte and throughout the region take advantage of this sponsorship opportunity.”

Sponsorships start at $500 and will include advertising your business name in vari-ous promotional materials. Larger sponsorships include announcements on public access channels, logos on street banners and prime event placement. Sponsorships will help the City offset the costs of running the fair, including advertising, event prepara-tions and materials.

In recognition of more than 15 years of service to the community, El Monte High School math and AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) teacher Sonia Lamas was awarded a Bobby Salcedo Esperanza Award at the El Monte Coalition of Latino Professionals (em-CLP) 9th annual Tamalada scholarship dinner.

Lamas, an El Monte High School graduate, has served as department chair for eight years and as a content specialist. She has dedicated five years to tutoring students for the Academic Decath-lon, offered free afterschool tutoring and organized a Christmas basket donation program.

"These contributions only scratch the surface as to what she has contributed to the City of El Monte," said one emCLP member. "Her heart, soul and normative beliefs are deeply rooted in El Mon-te and her children attend the education system that she so passionately believes in."

"Ms. Lamas has always gone above and beyond to support the students of El Monte High School," said Principal Keith Richardson. "This is a well deserved honor."

In addition to Lamas, three others were also recognized

at this year’s dinner.Mountain View High

Mother’s day is fast ap-proaching and I have a present to give to my mother figure. That person is my grandmother, since she is the only woman I have received love and compassion from. My grandmother raised me with the love she was never able to give to her kids; she was always working. Maybe that is why she spoils me so much; it’s a way of showing

her love for all her children. Anyway, my mother began leaving me with my grand-mother at nine days old. My mother came back from time to time, but she usually just left me in my grandmother’s care. I don't remember much, but what I do remember is my grandmother always be-ing there for me.

So maybe this Mother’s Day you won't be giving

something special to your birth mother, but the real mothers in your life, the ones which raise you with the same love they would give to their own children. My life would have been so very different without my grand-mother; I probably wouldn't even be alive if it wasn't for her, so “Gracias Nana por todo.”

ARIESDespite your recent soaring successes, you may feel frus-trated by a lack of progress on Monday.

TAURUSYou seem to be in your ele-ment, although you might feel blocked by someone’s refusal to cooperate or see your view-point.

GEMINIYou might need to get a health issue checked earlier in the week, especially if you feel tired and generally lacking in energy.

CANCERYour social life looks promis-ing and very upbeat, which is great for dating, networking, and having a good time.

LEOHome and career matters may need equal amounts of atten-tion, which could take your focus off your primary goals.

VIRGOYou could be suspicious of someone’s motives when the person may be trying to help you. Reconsider your opinions on Monday.

LIBRAYour finances may have been stretched lately. You could feel particularly frustrated on Monday when a financial transaction doesn’t work out as expected or if you have less cash than you thought.

SCORPIOA stubborn mood could cause problems when you don’t see eye to eye with another. How-ever, you may be shooting yourself in the foot by being disagreeable.

SAGITTARIUSIt seems like you’ve been enjoying yourself lately, as you may have a built-in resistance to your routines.

CAPRICORNThere is a lot of activity in your romance zone, which you may be very happy about. If you’re single, you’ll enjoy flirting and chatting with positive, optimis-tic people.

AQUARIUSMuch as you’d like to relax at home, career issues may take up a lot of time and energy.

" Guam To Saigon: Ghosts of War

(Part 5)"• Dwain C. Crum •

Following my visit to Korea the Pacific Princess sailed to two ports in China, but I will talk about that in my next article. For now, I would like to finish the Ghost of War series by talk-ing about my visit to Viet-nam.

World War II, the Ko-rean War, the Vietnam War - America became heavily focused on the Pacific during the 20th century. My ship was making two stops in Vietnam. The first stop was at Cai Lan, gateway to Ha-long Bay. The second port was Phu My, gateway to Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietnam is a communist country today. Whereas World War II was a great victory in both Europe and the Pacific for the U.S. and

the Korean War can only be looked on as a stalemate by the most pessimist among us - the Vietnam War was a defeat.

When I was growing up in the San Gabriel Valley, the Vietnam War was going on. When I was at Encinita Elementary it was going on. When I was a student at Muscatel Middle School it was going on. When I was a student at Rosemead High School it was still going on.

Even today, taking about it stirs up passions about what we should or should not have done during that war. World War II does not stir up those same emotions, nor does the Korean War. The reason - Vietnam is a communist country today.

Vietnam is slowly chang-

ing. Since the mid 1990's Vietnam has sort of followed China's lead on how to be a communist nation yet pursue a capitalist economy. A boat ride in Ha-long Bay is one of the most beautiful in the world and is recognized by UNESCO. It was interesting to note that in Cai Lan the pier was in reality a rusted old ferry and not a modern pier. At Ho Chi Minh City (the former Saigon) things seemed much more similar to the other counties that I visited till I noticed something. I was told there is not one McDon-alds in all of Vietnam - not one.

In Ho Chi Minh City I went to see the Presidential Palace. Today, the Vietnam-ese consider the spot where

'Town Tweets ' by Joe Castillo

Continuing Saga …. I’m not sure how long it takes to figure out someone’s resi-dency but the San Gabriel City Council is setting a new record. Three days worth of hearings took place in coun-cil chambers to determine if Chin Ho Liao’s residence is within the city limits or not. The hearings have brought out growing concerns and frustrations with the legal process and council inef-fectiveness. A group calling itself the ‘Coalition to Save San Gabriel’ is circulat-ing a petition to place Chin Ho on the city council. Los Angeles area newspapers like the Los Angeles Times and Pasadena Star News, along with Asian Televi-sion stations, are covering the historical proceeding. Claims of civil rights viola-tion and race discrimination have been voiced by angry and confused residents. The council chambers have been turned into a pseudo court-room with council members acting as the judge and jury. According to the San Gabriel city website, the council will discuss the record and issue a ruling on the matter at a special meeting on Monday May 6th. I’ll be out of town and out of state that day, but don’t be surprised if council decides to allow Chin Ho to take his elected seat. I could be wrong, it wouldn’t be the first time, but I think that council members will come to their senses and in order to avoid any further embar-rassment as well as possible lawsuits, will seat Chin Ho with only a slap on the wrist. This entire process could have been avoided if only the City and City Council performed its own due dili-gence prior to the March 5th elections. In the 100th anni-versary year of incorporation of the city, city residents are witnessing something that has never happened before in their town or any other town in California for that matter. By challenging the election results of the people you represent is an insult to the electoral process and our U.S. Constitution. Makes you wonder why we even bother to vote if we end up with the council members we have today. …. A Private Press Conference?..... On

Friday May 3rd, the ‘Coali-tion to Save San Gabriel’ held a news conference at the Mission 261 Restaurant in San Gabriel. The Coalition invited state local officials and other supporters of Chin Ho Liao to persuade council members to vote to seat Chin Ho. But the press conference also had its own controversy and asked those who did not support Chin Ho to leave the restaurant. Also, the Chief of the Kizh-Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians was asked to leave the confer-ence. Representatives of the tribe had been invited to the press conference to introduce themselves to the attendees of the conference but were identified as non-Liao sup-porters and were asked to leave. Whatever is happening in San Gabriel is not good. In my opinion, the City, City Clerk and City Council members did not do its own due diligence and investi-gated Liao before the elec-tion. Then Chin Ho was not allowed to take his elected seat. I believe he should have been allowed to take his seat and afterwards an investigation held to deter-mine his residency. Instead the San Gabriel City Council made a mistake to handle the situation itself as they were involved in the mishandling of the situation from the beginning. Watch for more controversy in the future….

WEBB'S RULES

A loving mother is God's special creative treasure;And the love we have for her we cannot measure.

A mother is a person who loves you from inside out;That's what I believe that true love is all about.

Honor your mother with all the love in your heart;

For in your life she will always be an important part.Without a mother where would we have been?

It's great if you realize she is truly your best friend.

If you think it's your mother making you feel blue;Often, it's not her, it's something wrong with you.

For she is the one person that you can always trust;Over all of her children she will make a big fuss.

Mothers can make our life really worthwhile;Just with a kiss, a touch or a great big smile.

She'll keep the family together by being so strong;Love you when your right and even when your wrong.

Many times she won't like some of the things you do;You can be assured that she'll never stop loving you.

Remember, God gave her a lot of wisdom and insight;So hang on to your mother with all your might.

Whether your mother is here, passed on or miles apart;

I know just thinking of her will warm your heart.Keep in mind a mother does make life worth living;

When you think of all the joys she's been giving.

LOVING MOTHER

and El Monte High. She has three children: Karen, Penni, and Greg; four grand-children: Jessica, Steven, Tabatha, and Erin and four great-grandchildren: Jaelyn, Emma, Lavelle, and Taylor. According to Jan, Mother’s Day is a time to “reflect on my mom, grandmas and all my ancestors. I wish the family unit could be like it used to be.” Jan retired from Cal-State, Los Angeles after many years of service and now enjoys traveling and visiting her many long-time friends.

Another local mom we honor on this Mother’s Day is Linda Miller. Linda was born in Los Angles and lived in Whittier and El Monte. She married her high school sweetheart, Donald Miller and they have been married for 45 years. They moved to Temple City in 1973. They have two sons, Don and Dave and six grandsons:

Andrew, Nick, Thomas, Brian, Ryan, and Hayden. Linda was a stay-at-home mom who volunteered and worked for the PTA and her church. According to Linda, Mother’s Day is a time “for mothers to be grateful for their children, family, and grandchildren. She shared that her sons still love to vacation as a family and she loves how close they all are.

In Webster’s New Col-legiate Dictionary, there are many descriptive adjec-tives for the word “mother,” among them to show tender-ness and affection as well as to care for and to protect. I think these words are exactly what mothers do. What bet-ter way to celebrate Mother’s Day than to honor all of the special mothers in your life.

So to all mothers, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Ask me what I think politically, and I’m ready to go.Ask me what I think about theo-logical and spiritual matters, and I’ve got it down.Ask me what I want for dinner, and I’m down with the get down.Ask me about the Los Angeles Rams, and I’ll tell you I love them.Ask me about the Los Angeles Lakers, and I’ll tell you I could care less.Ask me about the Los Angeles Dodgers, and I’ll tell you I hate their bench.Ask me about the Los Angeles Kings, and I’ll tell you I love the playoffs.Ask me about Dick Enberg, and I’ll tell you he’s underrated.Ask me about Vin Scully, and I can’t say enough.Ask me about the East-West Hall of Fame game scheduled for May 17th...Yeah...I don’t know.I don’t know if there’s been a local sporting event I’ve been all over the yard about like this one.Back in the day I used to ignore this game because I hated exhibition football. When we started covering it I was more than happy to send Duane “Bad News” Barker to it with his cam-era while I did the Little League playoffs.Then I got dragged to a game. Saw La Canada’s La Velle Pe-terson dominate a first half. I be-lieve a year later I saw South El Monte’s Tommy Cogburn torch some Charter Oak defensive backs who insisted on covering him in single coverage.Good stuff.Still, it was exhibition football. To me football is football, great to watch, great to be around, but it has to count for something. If guys are going to start knocking heads, it has to mean something.On my way to the game one year I got a call that someone was in the emergency room so I didn’t see it. I thought I would miss seeing the game, but I didn’t.I understand why coaches and schools offering scholarships don’t want their recruits to play in an all star game.But then you see the guy that hasn’t been recruited playing you are happy for him.So, exhibition or not, the game is great because it puts smiles on a lot of faces.I liked it in June, would love it in February, thought it was great to move it to May, but now I don’t know.No one should miss their prom for this game, but if you want to play in it you should.I’m glad its not a nuclear issue, I’m glad its not the fate of the world, I’m glad its only football.But I will forever be conflicted.

Apaches hire alum An-drew Policky as new head football coach.

Policky played for Ar-cadia in the late 1990’s and served as an assistant on Jon Dimalante’s staff from 2005-2007. The last

two seasons he’s been the head coach at Hoover High School in Glendale.

“He’s an Apache alumni and he coached with us from 2005-’07,” said Ar-cadia assistant Eric Elias. ”He’s a Jon Dimalante guy,

like me. He’s a great fit for us. I’m excited about the di-rection of the program.”

Policky takes over for Chris Long who stepped down earlier this year after one season at the helm.

Irony, Long also came from Hoover to lead Arca-dia in 2012.

Arroyo and Rosemead renewed old acquaintances Saturday at B.L. Bergstrom Stadium. The Panthers and the Knights have been butting heads for decades in what is the best rivalry in the Mission Valley League but this wasn’t quite as intense as a Friday night clash in October.

Instead it was just a chance to throw the ball around a little bit on a sunny Saturday in May.

Arroyo is coming off a third

place finish in the MVL but did advance to the second round of the playoffs after a big win over Bell Gardens. Rosemead

is looking to improve on a year in which it missed the playoffs and went 4-6 overall.

On this date in 1973 only 4,777 people came out to see the San Francisco Giants host the St. Louis Cardinals at Candlestick Park.

The Giants were 22-9, the Cardinals were 5-19. In the eighth inning San Francsico catcher Dave Rader was lifted for a pinch hitter. That hitter was Chris Arnold, Ar-cadia class of ’65.

Arnold walked and later scored when Bobby Bonds singled to left field as the Giants took a 9-7 victory.

Not profound until you see who was playing in this game. The Cardinals had Hall of Famers Bob Gibson and Lou Brock on the field. The Giants line up featured not only Bonds (homered), but Dave Kingman (homered),

Gary Matthews, Tito Fuentes, and Hall of Famer Willie Mc-Covey (homer/triple).

Arnold an 11th round draft pick of the Giants in June draft of 1965 played parts of six seasons (1971-1976) with the Giants and then went on to play three years in Japan.

Used largely as a utility infielder/pinch hitter, Ar-nold bat-ted .237 with four home runs and 51 runs batted in dur-ing his career. Two of his four home runs came off Hall of

Famers Phil Niekro and Steve Carlton.

Arnold now lives in Denver, Colorado where he runs a suc-cesful sports agency.

Do You Know Who This Guy Is?

It's tough being a sports fan in Southern California these days. The Lakers and the Clip-pers finished off disappoint-ing seasons by being bounced in the first round. Both Mike D'Antoni and Vinny Del Negro are in danger of losing their jobs.

UCLA fired Ben Howland after a first round exit and is starting over with Steve Alford. USC dismissed Kevin O'Neill and brought in Andy Enfield to try to right the ship.

You like baseball? Ok great. The Dodgers dropped to 13-16 after dropping consecutive walk off losses to the hated Giants and have a team that re-sembles a M*A*S*H unit. The Angels? Well, they're worse. They fell to 11-20 with another loss Sunday to the Orioles.

How long do you think Don

Mattingly and Mike Scioscia will be around if the losing trend continues? With payrolls that make the Yankees look broke both of them could end up standing next to Howland and O'Neill in the unemploy-ment line if things don't get better soon.

The football team at USC may have been the most disap-pointing of all. Lane Kiffin's team finished 7-6 after an embarrassing loss in the Sun Bowl and reportedly there was a brawl that broke out in the locker room following the game. SC has consistently had some of the highest rated recruiting classes in the nation despite being on NCAA proba-tion but those classes didn't translate to victories in 2012. Another season like that and Kiffin will be shown the door.

Matt Barkley was a victim of the poor showing falling all the way to the fourth round of the NFL draft before he was selected.

UCLA was better although the Bruins did get hammered in the Holiday Bowl and lost their last three games. Jim Mora however is still the safest coach in So Cal.

Well, unless you consider hockey. Unfortunately not many people do. The Kings provided more excitement than any local team lately by winning the Stanley Cup last season, although they are cur-rently down to the St. Louis Blues 2-1 in the first round of the playoffs. The Ducks are contenders as well and are up 2-1 in their series.

But take those few brief hockey moments out of the equation and its been a rough go.

Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Well, the good thing is in sports things can turn around in a hurry. If the Lakers re-sign Dwight How-ard, Kobe Bryant returns healthy as well as Steve Nash and D'Antoni has a full season to work with the Lakers could return to prominence. If the Clippers re-sign Chris Paul and Blake Griffin takes the next step they will be right back in contention.

UCLA and USC are banking on fresh new starts to ignite their programs, and you have to admit, what Enfield did at Florida Gulf Coast was pretty exciting.

It's hard to imagine USC football having as bad of a season as it did last year. The Trojans have to get better don't they? It stands to reason that the only way they can go is up. UCLA with Mora and Brett Hundley at quarterback should only get better.

It's only May and with guys on the Dodger roster like Matt Kemp, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier, the offense will come around. The ownership group has already shown it will spend what-ever it takes to win so I'm sure another pitcher could be on the way before the trading dead-line. Josh Hamilton will start hitting eventually and I can't imagine the Angels pitching staying this bad. And of course the Kings and Ducks are ok.

So take heart. Hope is on the horizon and soon your favorite Southland team will rise from the ashes and taste the fruits of victory. If not we can always count on our professional football team to pick us up. Oh wait, never mind.

That's my principle. Tim can be reached at tim@

The Sum-mary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(c)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 04/12/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROP-ERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NBS Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pur-suant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 04/19/2005 as Document No.: 05 0901951, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by: JOHN HUYNH, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUC-TION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan associa-tion, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. Sale Date and Time: 05/30/2013 at 11:00 AM Sale Location: By the fountain located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766 The street address and other com-mon designation, if any, of the real prop-erty described above is purported to be: 2661 LEXINGTON AVE 1, EL MONTE, CA 91733 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common desig-nation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but with-out covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or en-cumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $373,407.25 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is pos-sible that at the time of sale the opening

bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this prop-erty lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automati-cally entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien be-ing auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encour-aged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance com-pany, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that informa-tion about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (714)730-2727 for information regarding the trustee`s sale or visit this Internet Web site, https://www.lpsasap.com/, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file num-ber assigned to this case, T.S.# 9448-1966. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not im-mediately be reflected in the telephone in-formation or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement informa-tion is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the suc-cessful bidder shall have no further re-course.

a communist tank broke the wall there to have been the moment of end of the war. I had my picture taken there at that spot. Not as a commu-nist victory - but as the place the Vietnam War ended.

During the 1970's, I regis-tered for the draft but fortu-nately for me the draft ended before my name had been called. My mom always said that there were two people that I had to thank because their actions ended that war for the United States and saved me for having to serve in Vietnam. Two very dis-similar figures except that they were both controversial, both then and now - Muham-mad Ali and Richard Nixon. Ali because he protested the war when he didn't have to and Nixon because he pulled us out of a war which his predecessors would not. If not for them I could very easily have found myself in Vietnam many years earlier and in a very different situ-ation.

During one of the tours in Vietnam my guide talked to us about the war and how he had had uncles fight on both sides and that he had lost relatives that he never saw again. He separated himself from the group momentarily but I followed him and saw why he had left - he was crying and he didn't want anyone to see. Peace is bet-ter than war.
