1. I actually asked my Husband |
|
if he had heard anything about Ron Kovic lately the other day. He said that he hadn't... Wonder where he is and what he is up to these days?

I'm having trouble finding any current mentions of him, but here's a fairly recent writeup and a picture. http://www.military.com/Content/MoreContent?file=ML_kovic_bkpOn edit: Found a Wolf Blitzer interview from January 2003 about the then-upcoming anti-war demonstration http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0117-11.htmA longish article from June 2003 http://www.oz.net/~vvawai/general/RonKovic.htmlAnd a December 2003 photo with Tom Cruise at the premiere of Last Samurai http://www.absolutenow.com/photos/6059_cruise66745387.html

3. Thanks for the photo of Mr. Kovic, a true hero. |
|
I lived that movie (except the wheelchair part). I wonder who Iraq-nam's Ron Kovic will be.

4. Thank you so much for posting this... |
|
Ron Kovic is a man to look up to, a True hero. Fighting the good fight even years after the fact. I cry everytime I watch Born on the Fourth of July, Tom Cruise did an outstanding job. Ron Kovic, a True American Hero. My :tinfoilhat: is off to him.

5. Our local WB showed it earlier today ... |
|
It was all I could do, to not cry near the end when Cruise (as Kovic) was trying to get into the Puke convention, and of course their reaction calling him a commie and a traitor for opposing the war ...
The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh ??
:hippie:
