Lost letters delivered to family
43 years after he was killed, Sergeant Steve Flaherty’s letters were returned to his family in a ceremony at Viet Nam Memorial Park in Columbia S.C. according to Columbia’s The State;
Sealed in an unassuming white envelope, the letters were presented by members of the 101st Airborne Division to Flaherty’s uncle, Ken Cannon.
“It is a miracle that these letters have shown up after all this time,” said Cannon at the ceremony, which included about 20 members of Flaherty’s extended family, members of the military, representatives of veteran’s groups and the general public who had come to pay their respect.
I mention this because that evil valor vulture, Mary Schantag, helped to locate the family so they could take possession of the letters after the letters were returned to Leon Panetta by the Vietnamese government while he was in Vietnam last month.

Nice story Jonn and thanks too, to that “evil” Mary Shantag at POW Network.
These last six months or so my eyes have been opened by this, Mary’s site and Blackfive (and others)to the amount of scum that exists in this country that steal Valor in the pretext of “free speech.”
As the great Norman Schwarzkopf once said in response to a typically dumb question from a media guy, he said, “that’s Bovine Scatology!”
Mary? Mary? Mary…..Gotta sort this one out. OH YEA! THAT Mary….Hi ya, Mary! *giggle*
