August 7, 1963
Wednesday, nice day. David and I worked at the beef all day, got it all done but one front quarter. Clifton cut that up at night.
Comment: Big job completed and lots of meat for the coming winter. One year from today in 1964, the Gulf Of Tonkin resolution would be passed that resulted in 58,220 dead Americans in the Vietnam War and Vietnam becoming a Favored Trading Nation of the United States in 2002. I remember how exhilarated I was when the first air strikes were made by US forces on Vietnam and then how soon that exhilaration turned to disgust as the torrent of lies from our government and military became so painfully obvious..."When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn..and the same applies to our current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.....
