Letter dated April 13th 1985 from James Oldham
Dear President Reagan,
I’m finally writting you cause our Sheppard has stirred our hearts . I write to you cause I know you know His Voice . We must right the wrongs done to our mother’s children . The ones we sent to Nam and Honduras who didn’t return , and the ones who came back but not whole , either in body or in spirit .
We must honor our vets . What would happen if we had a war and nobody showed up ? The veterans may exist on a few good men , but this nation needs more . HONOR OUR VETS , and they will begin to wash the blood from their hands with everyones tears .
Where were the ticker tape parades for our fighting heroes ? In the court room with Lt Calley ? Where were the jobs that were promised to our vets ? Have they been taken care of when they visited the V.A. Hospitals with the spots and blemishes on their skin from the horrors of war ?
How can a young man forget his past ? By giving him a good future filled with at least half of the respect and honor that he had when he arrived in Nam .
We have given our Vets a taste of bitter memories that they can’t forget . And now our WWII vets are crying for help ; Their bodies being eaten by the promise of Einstein , the bomb , the war that will end all wars ! Where is the peace ?In Central America ? In Afganistan ? In Cambodia ? In the Falkland Islands ? NO !
Their will always be war and rumors of war . Who will fight these wars ? Honor our Vets . Give them the ticker tape parades , make heroes out of our Nam Vets not scapegoats in our courts . Give them back their HONOR so that their wounds would be healed . Our Forefathers are better people then us . They , with God’s help and direction , laid the foundations of this country . Gave us RIGHTS that we have forever fought for . IN GOD WE TRUST ?!?! Or just the paper that buys the drugs to forget ? They do NOT forget !
Russia knows who its enemy is , they know that it isn’t us . THEY MEET TO SHAKE HANDS CAUSE FRIENDS DON’T BLOW EACH OTHER UP .
Raise the speed limit back to 70 . Give money to those who wish to dominate the world . They are killing each other now . A HOUSE DIVIDED CAN NOT STAND . Help them to fall .
Raise taxes but cut the interest rates , ( Prime lending rate in half ) . This will give more to the people than you take away . You can have a balanced budget before you leave office . Cut the interest rate in half also for all the third world countries lest they fall and take us with them .
HONOR our mothers children , the children of our Forefathers . Make right their paths of this nation and we will come together .
Our mothers children are held accountable for their actions , Ford Motor Company is held accountable . It is time that our country be held accountable ! Our children that have been killed or damaged because of this country must have legal recourse in the courts .
Our CONSTITUTION protects EVERYONE in the pursuit of their RIGHTS . This makes our country GOOD . What makes our country bad is when these RIGHTS are circumvented .
For those that feel PRAYER is the answer to aggressors , LET THEM PRAY . For those who meet aggressors with bayonet , let them stab them . These are RIGHTS guaranteed in the CONSTITUTION , in the military regulations , and in the hearts of our Mothers Children . God put you in office and may God be with you .
Love
James R Oldham 4/13/85
