Wow! Jesus! You are really reading my mind!!!!! That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! If Hawaii were to become independent, the US would force Puerto Rico to become a new state just so the US could keep all 50 stars on the flag!I'm no hero and I don't deserve your praise, but you're a very kind person for saying it. Thank you very much. I didn't know any of things that you uncovered. I'm getting a pretty good idea of the real story now. I think the Campaign Medal was probably a kind of hoax (thought up by the US government) to support the lie about the Vietnamese people requesting America's help. But after losing the war the medal has become an albatross around the neck. Like what would happen if one of the States were to secede from the Union? How would the US deal with there being 1 too many stars on the flag? Ooops!Don't take this wrong, you are a hero in my mind for serving in Vietnam and deserve any medal and ribbon that was awarded by the US or Vietnam. And, thank you for your service.
California was talking about that as soon as Trump won, just like Texas was last year. We could always make Puerto Rica a state. LOL
