Joseph Sintoni thought that they were acting in denial of patriotism and of our country. Sintoni compared love of country and service to country with the way we feel about our families. "Just as a man will stand by his family be it right or wrong," he wrote, so also we always stand with our country in any conflict with a foreign adversary. That was his view.
Joseph Sintoni was soldier who later died in the Vietnam. He wrote his letter to his fiancee before he left for Vietnam in January, 1968. He was killed in action in March, 1968.
