[Chrysler300] Draft dodgers

Hi club;
After hearing from Gloria Moon , I came to the conclusion that I didn't make myself well heard in the matter of "it should be said." About a month ago a group of about 2,000 people, all draft dodgers who escaped to Canada to avoid the draft in the US during the Vietnam war , decided they would like to build a monument to themselves for as they put it, their tireless efforts in coming to Canada . The monument was to be built in the city of Nelson , British Columbia , in Canada, near the US border .The monument actually received some support from the Mayor , but following up to 2,000 calls and letters a day from outraged Canadians and Americans alike , they have dropped the idea. Regardless of what you thought about the war in Vietnam , constructing a monument to those who fled the scene rather then defend their country left many people including my family gasping . I wrote the little note to the club because I was so taken a back but what had been proposed that I was deeply ashamed and wanted you all to know that most of us Canadians do not agree with what they had in mind .. Sorry for the confusion.
