War veteran questions Iraq decisions, vet apathy
War veteran questions Iraq decisions, vet apathy
BY HARRY LEVINS
St. Louis Post-Dispatch Senior Writer


(KRT) - As Medal of Honor winner Paul Bucha stood to speak to a convention of Vietnam veterans in St. Louis on Wednesday, he removed the distinctive blue-ribboned medal from around his neck and tucked it inside the lectern.

By the time he finished, the veterans were shouting for him to put the medal back on. He did.

Bucha spoke to the national convention of the Vietnam Veterans of America, at the Adam's Mark Hotel. As he took off the medal at the start of his speech, he said, "With what I'm going to tell you today it's inappropriate to wear it."

1. Reading the article I hope when Bush speaks
when he speaks at the National comvention they boo him then ask him a bunch of questions that he can not defend. Publicly embarrass him for the ass that he is. Let the St.Louis paper and media run that. Let the national media run that. Let these people know that not everybody loves Bush, especially the veterans. Let them spin that.
