What Senator John Glenn said, makes you think

[Swimmer]

John,
I'll chastise my 80 yr. old aunt in Oregon for not checking Snopes first before forwarding it to me. I'll bet that crafty old gal was the one who changed the dates. 1974 or 2004, my only point was that certain people/politicians are using certain aspects of the war, including how many soldiers are being killed or injured, in a fashion that does not show those soldiers respect. It is unconscionable to me regardless of your background and beliefs to treat armed forces personel with anything but the utmost in respect, and using them for any personel or political gain deserves our complete and total condemnation. In restrospect I suppose that I was forcing the issue between conservatives and liberals. I do apologise for not checking SNOPES.COM though, but until you informed me of that web site I had no knowledge it existed. I wonder how many members check snopes.com?

In retrospect the first quote, that starts "during the month of," never mentioned any date other than the day I received it from Oregon. I wonder if all of those can be attributed to Glenn but over a period of time, or not attributed to him at all?
