Between the fields where the flag is planted, there
are 9+ miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's
a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB.
Check out the dimensions of the flag. The 2002 Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the
proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order #10834. This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be
planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24 fe et in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet
wide. This Flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants, with 4-5 flower stems each, for a total of
more than 2 million flowers. You can drive by this flag on V Street
south of Ocean Ave.
in Lompoc, CA.

Why are the two teenage boys' in the below picture eyes
closed?
I found this great PTSD article on a military
base. It was in a FAMILY MAGAZINE for American troops.
PTSD does not only hit our military men
and women. It impacts a great number of Americans, who never left home...
Child abuse, elderly abuse, marital abuse,
street crime victims (rape), etc. are some of the biggest sufferers.
Understanding PTSD is a great way from keeping
it from passing down through generations.
MORE AND MORE LIBERAL-DEMOCRAT
LEADERS ARE LINING UP TO COMPARE THIS WAR ON TERRORISM WITH
THE VIETNAM WAR. SINCE HOLLYWOOD'S MOVIES WERE MOSTLY ALL
WRONG ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR AND YOU WERE NOT TAUGHT ABOUT
THE VIETNAM WAR IN SCHOOL, LEARN IT ON THE INTERNET...
THE BELOW ARTICLES COME FROM THE BOOK
DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS OF
THE VIETNAM WAR

IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF...
(Who Are Today's Terrorist Connections?)
Two recently discovered documents captured from the Vietnamese
communists during the Vietnam War strongly support the contention that a close link existed between the Hanoi regime and the
Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) while John Kerry served as the group's leading national spokesman.
Researchers Troy Jenkins and Tom Wyld located
the two Vietnamese communist documents referenced above in the archives of the Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University, in
the Douglas Pike Collection. Douglas Pike was a leading authority on the Vietnam War who collected over 2 million pages of
original documents now archived at the Vietnam Center. James Reckner, Ph.D., Director of the Vietnam Center at Texas Tech,
verifies that the documents in the Pike collection are original and authentic. The Circular and the Directive are listed as
items numbered 2150901039b and
2150901041 respectively.

Yes, the American Liberal News Media is one

Amnesty International: Insurgents are guilty
The Amnesty International report — "In Cold Blood: Abuses by Armed Groups" — said (terrorist)
insurgents were guilty of direct attacks intended to cause the greatest possible loss of civilian life, indiscriminate attacks
resulting in the deaths of civilians, targeting humanitarian organizations, abductions and killing captured and defenseless
police and military personnel.
"There is no honor nor heroism in blowing up people going to pray or murdering a terrified hostage.
Those carrying out such acts are criminals, nothing less, whose actions undermine any claim they may have to be pursuing a
legitimate cause," Amnesty said.
