...A story I have confirmed personally with people in my former re-enactment unit (55th Virginia) who were there and took part the filming of the movie and this 'ceremony';
“A Retired Marine, Bob Kielhofer (Col., USMCR, Ret.) sent this along with the comment.
” There are still some people left with pride and a sense of moral fiber.”
For those of you who have no liking for Jane Fonda, Ted Turner’s wife, “Hanoi Jane”, I will recount a little story, I was the Chief of Staff to the Confederate General who was overall commander of the 6000 troops in the movie Gettysburg, a Historical. As actors, we volunteered to TNT who was making the movie, receiving a onetime payment of $25.00 for travel expenses and food while on site. We each also received a medal stamped Killer Angels (original book’s name).
Two incidents involve HJ. The first was on the day when Ted Turner made his cameo appearance in the movie. For those who have the movie, he is the white-haired officer who dies climbing over the fence in a charge.
Now movies, for the uninitiated, are boring to be in unless you are a star. I had brought up a battalion, about 700 men, up on a road in the sun to wait the setup of the cameras. HJ and Ted arrived in a helicopter for the take. HJ walked down to about the center of the battalion to see the troops, and accepted the adulation she expected her hubby’s employees would give her. Most of the troops present were North Carolinians, many from Fort Brag.
The Colonel commanding the battalion reported to me and informed me his troops were nonpulsed by HJ’s presence and asked my permission to make a troop movement to ease their feelings. What then happened, I will never forget. He called his men to attention. HJ, seeing the activity, smiled expecting some show for her benefit, and walked to the front of rightmost company.
The Colonel continued his orders and commanded the company in front of which she stood, “B Company! To the rear! By the right about! Face! Stand at ease!” ONE HUNDRED MEN PIVOTED AND GAVE THEIR BACKS. Taking the action for what it was, HJ beat a hasty retreat down the line toward the helicopter. The Colonel followed her progress down the battalion with the same hot disrespectful salute, reversing each company just as she reached the front of the company.
Ten minutes later the copter left and we saw her no more that day. I gave the Colonel a written commendation, mentioned in the next day’s orders for his innovation, extra rest for his battalion, and first place in the marching order.
God bless the Tarheels and the Old North State………..
HEAR, HEAR
The second I’ll make brief.
One of my sergeants, a former medic in Vietnam, performed meritorious medical duties during the filming. He stabilized half a dozen critically ill and injured troops in several mishaps; probably saving one man’s life.
During a ceremony at the end of filming, the County and the National Park Service gave him an award. Ted Turner also ceremoniously shook his hand, gave him a large check in thanks, and in front of the throng attending he presented HJ to the proud confederate. She extended her hand to the sergeant, who jerked his hand away as if burned, putting it behind himself, and in a strong voice into the microphones he said, “I mean no disrespect to you Mr. Turner, but I WILL NOT SHAKE THE HAND OF A TRAITOR.”
WELL DONE MY SON
My sentiments exactly, I’ve often thought how unfair it was that she was living in the lap of luxury and seemingly getting off scott free after her notorious acts in North Viet Nam. Now I see it clearly, “What goes around comes around”.
Thank God!!!!!!
Semper Fi!!! ”
“What goes around comes around”.
“What goes around comes around”.
“What goes around comes around”.
...I hope they chisel that on your headstone you treasonous c**t.
I wouldn't give her the sweat off my balls if she were dying of thirst in the desert.

My personal favorite is that she will spend eternity floating on a sea of urine provided by the Viet Nam vets and family members for generations to come.
