Bud Ad in Bowl

[Ken Thompson III]

Bob,
I told my wife, after that commercial, the same thing you just said.  It's 
too bad that our vets from Vietnam weren't treated with the same respect. 
It sure hit a tender spot with her, as her Godfather did 6 tours in Nam. 
She still gets upset when she remembers the way Bill was treated when he 
came home.
I for one would like to thank you for your "service".
You guys all deserve it!

Ken Thompson
