Betrayal By A Commander In Chief ArticleAugust 27, 2004 Betrayal By A Commander In Chief In 1984, I stood with my then-13-year-old daughter at the center of the dark gash in the earth called the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, weeping. She looked up and asked me why I was crying. "Because there are some 58,000 names on that wall that should not be there," I answered. Aug 27, 2004 Gordon Adams
