I had many friends in the Hanoi Hilton who were tortured grevesly. Jane gave comfort to our Enemy in time of war and should have been severly punished for this act. Piloted B-17s on 50 bombing missions in WWII and 100 missions north in F-4s during the Vietnam War. My friend call me Al.

Her actions during the war in South East Asia show her true colors, by cuddling up to the enemy, while denying the very existence of our POW's and the horrible torture and treatment they were be subjected to on a daily basis. Long ago, people like her who performed acts like these were deemed traitors and were executed as such. Instead we seem to do otherwise, and select her into the California Hall of Fame. For what? Why? Because she's won a few acting awards, daughter of a truly great actor, activist, and continues her liberal ideaology? Bad choice all around...someone is just stroking her once again. She doesn't deserve this award any more than the average Californian...which is all she is in my opinion. Remove her from the list immediately as a traitor of our nation.

It's such a pity that she isn't a great patriot too. Not only isn't she a patriot ... in my view she committed traitorous actions during the Viet Nam conflict. I do not condemn those who disagreed with our leaders, after all, that is a major facet of Democracy. To condemn our POW'S while they were undergoing such incredibly terrible POW conditions, is unforgiveable....Her actions clearly gave AID and COMFORT to our enemy during a time of war.... and that is TREASON. Surely she is not deserving of California's High honor. Edward D. Moore, Viet Nam Veteran Jane Fonda is unquestionably great actress. It’s such a pity that she isn’t a great patriot too.

I despised her then and I still do. She's a traitor at best and a cruel enemy of our troops. I wish she could have been prosecuted for it. I'm surprised she didn't follow up with "the holocaust never happened" or now with "well those guys in Iraq did not get executed on camera - that was special effects added by our armed forces." Same thing essentially as she did during Vietnam. Can't believe she has the nerve to show her face anywhere anymore. I absolutely cannot believe that she would receive an award for her behavior back then! Especially now with our troops in Iraq! What does this medal of hers say to them? And especially to those who have already died or been captured and... (I can't even write it). Good heavens is there no one left with any sense or common decency? I am going to find out who the heck is on the board or whatever of the California Museum’s Hall of Fame and write to them (throw rotten tomatoes if I get close enough - just wishful thinking there) and write everyone else I can think of to protest this!
