Subject: Re: From Byrdman for widest dissemination RE: Joe

Earlier this year, I nominated Joe for induction into the
Florida Veterans Hall of Fame (FVHOF), an honorary that falls under the
cognizance of the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs (see:
Florida Veteran's Hall of Fame (floridaveteranshalloffame.org)
<https://floridaveteranshalloffame.org/>). I first learned of
the FVHOF a few months prior to Joe's passing and my one regret is that
I couldn't get his nomination through the system before he flew west.
The FVHOF Selection Council unanimously approved Joe's nomination this
summer and sent their recommendation to the Florida Cabinet. It
received a thumbs up there and the Governor signed the declaration that
will induct Joe into the FVHOF Class of 2023. That ceremony will
take place at the State Capitol on Tuesday, 14 Nov, and the Governor is
anticipated to preside over the ceremony. There is a permanent
display of FVHOF inductees in the rotunda of the Capitol.
As I mentioned to Tank, I should have a definitive start time for the 14
Nov event later this week. I suspect it will be some time prior to
noon, but more to follow.
Sherry Kittinger is planning to be there in Tallahassee and requested
that Vickie and I attend (which we planned to anyway. ...
Sherry also asked that I reach out to the Rats in Central Florida,
especially Marty Cavato (Tank is taking that for action), hence my
outreach to you in Longwood and Tank on the Space Coast. If any of
the Rats would like to attend, we just wanted to make all aware. I
realize it's a bit of a drive to Tallahassee (I grew up in Longwood,
Vickie in Fort Lauderdale, and we both graduated from FSU, so we know
the drill). The one bright spot is that since this event will be
on a weekday (and the week following an FSU home football game), the
price of all the hotel and motel rooms in Tallahassee will drop
significantly by the Sunday and Monday prior....

Hanoi Jane Fonda 06/24/18
It is important to understand the historical perspective of
events many years after they occurred. Through time, an accurate
analysis can be made of acts and behavior without hysterical and
prejudicial opinions. The boiling emotions have time to settle and
rational debate can be conducted using facts, law and logic. It has
been over 45 years since Jane Fonda visited Hanoi in 1972. I'm sure
many have different opinions on that piece of history. Some actions
should be viewed in the context of the time in which they happened.
Others are so treacherous, so blatantly treasonous that no context
can be drawn to justify. You decide. It is important to view both
sides and the individuals most affected by her actions were the US
servicemen who were in direct contact with the North Vietnamese.
This historical reflection is the story as presented by those men.
It is their story.

Joe Kittinger requested this be posted on the RATNET.
His request is being honored.
To all of our Fellow Americans,
There is no Statue of Limitations for the crime of Treason. Jane
Fonda could have been convicted of treason because of her trip to
Hanoi in July 1972. My friend, Henry Hank Holzer a distinguished
constitutional lawyer and the co-author of "Aid and Comfort" Jane
Fonda in North Vietnam is starting bi-monthly installments
concerning the proof that Jane Fonda could have been convicted of
Treason during her visit to Hanoi. Those of us who fought in Vietnam
and the families and loved ones of the 58,000 servicemen and women
that died in Vietnam have been waiting for many years to see Jane
Fonda positively identified as an enemy of our country. By Jane
Fonda being glorified through certain factions in our country she
has caused great pain to all of us that knew of her crimes against
our country and to the families and loved ones of the deceased. Thus
far her case has established a precedent that one can commit treason
without recourse, which is in direct violation of our Constitution.
We owe it to the future of our great Country to assure that in any
future conflict traitors like Jane Fonda will always be tried
promptly for the crime of treason in accordance with our
Constitution.
On 1 June 2018, installments will start on the internet about the
case against Jane Fonda. The entire book---which is free---will be
published twice per month on the first and fifteenth at
www.HanoiJaneSite.com. The success of this effort depends on
getting the word out to America. Please forward this notice to your
friends and any publication that will assist in spreading the word
about this patriotic expose of a traitor of our country who deserves
to be held guilty for the crime of treason.
Our thanks to Henry Mark Holzer and his co-author wife Erika for
their efforts to show the case against the traitor Jane Fonda. They
are Great Americans.
God Bless America
