Virginia Flaggers, SCV Denied Vendor Booths at Field Day of the Past Event
The local media quickly picked up the story and the backlash has been swift and strong. Vendors and other groups who support Confederate heritage have withdrawn from the event, and hundreds have pledged to boycott.
One of the many folks upset by the news was a local resident who hosts a swap meet event the same Saturday as the Field Day Event, just a few miles away, hosting over 12,000 visitors. We received a call from the organizer, who let us know that he would be honored to have us attend their event, and set up a booth near the front entrance to make sure that all who attend know where they stand on the issue.
We are extremely disappointed to announce that the folks at Field Day of the Past are denying the Va Flaggers, The Edumnd Ruffin Fire-Eaters Camp #3000, SCV, the Army of Northern Virginia Mechanized Cavalry and the Sally Tompkins Chapter #2, Virginia Society, Order of the Confederate Rose admittance as vendors in this year's event, and have informed us that we will not be allowed to return.
The reasons have varied greatly over the past 9 months in which we have tried to work this out quietly and peacefully, with everything from the "political nature" of the battle flag to the fact that our stickers were found applied to poles and other objects, to complaints about the large flag we raised at our booth last year, to political stickers on a car parked at one of the sites given as the reason.

The Circle of Life of Navy Captain Huan Nguyen
... Its the circle of life
All it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life.
Theme from "The Lion King"
As the news spread about the nomination of Navy Captain Huấn Từ Nguyễn to be rear admiral, some astute studiers of the Vietnam War could not help but notice the captain's history.
At 14, Nguyen arrived in Guam as refugee
right after the Fall of Saigon in 1975.
Seven years before, he was badly injured during the attack by the communist rebels during the surprise Tet Offensive. Some of the rebels pretended to be civilians and infiltrated key areas in Saigon. Nguyen's family was captured at their home in the early morning of the fight. The rebels targeted his family because his dad, Lt. Colonel Tuan Nguyen, was the head of an armored division protecting the city. His parents along with his 6 siblings and his 80 years old grandma were executed. He was the only one in his family survived the brutality.

34 Missing and Feared Dead After Scuba Diving Boat Catches Fire off California Coast
Terrible. We were on the Spirit of Adventure's maiden trip in the late seventies to dive San Clemente Island from San Pedro. It had private, A/C cabins and was very nice. Later it sunk somewhere off Hawaii but was recovered. This boat had all the cabins below and evidently the explosion was from the galley above and they couldn't get out and were only 20 yards from shore in 70 feet of water, Must have been horrific.
*************************
The 75-foot boat caught fire in the early morning hours while divers were sleeping below deck.
Almost three dozen divers are missing and feared dead after a 75-foot scuba diving boat caught fire off the coast of California in the early hours of Monday morning.Ventura County Fire Department said that it had responded to an emergency call at 3:28 a.m. PT Monday to a boat anchored just off Santa Cruz island.

On February 1, 1968, Saigon, South
Vietnam, was in the opening throes of the Tet Offensive. North Vietnamese
commanders called it “The General Offensive and Uprising of Tet
Mau Than 1968.”
Two days prior more than 80,000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army
troops had attacked more than 100 towns including 36 of 44 provincial South
Vietnamese capitals. This offensive was the largest military operation to date

Beto Admits He Will Forcefully Confiscate Firearms If He’s Elected President
2020 Democrat hopeful Robert “Beto” O’Rourke announced he will enact “red flag laws” and forcefully confiscate AK-47’s and AR-15’s if he’s elected president of the United States.
“And more importantly and politically difficult to say, buy those weapons of war back — mandate that — not voluntarily. Let’s be clear with our fellow Americans. No place for an AK-47 or an AR-15 on the streets of our communities,” Beto said during an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday.
