To the Editor:

As a Vietnam veteran, I would like to say something: There are a bit over 350 million Americans, not counting ones with green cards, etc. We make up just 7 percent of the world’s population. Since World War I we have died all over this world trying to keep freedom for others.

We send food and money to help all over the world. We to this day have military bases helping to protect Europe.
