As we have done repeatedly, we here at www.homerhickam.com will do
again. Mr. Hickam did NOT say the things as shown in this note. Go
to http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/hickam.asp
to get the real
story of this e-mail/internet fraud and also to hear what Mr. Hickam
actually said. In any case, he made no specific comment whatsoever
about Presidential candidates Obama or Clinton. That only accurate
part of this was he did say the crew of the missile ****p deserved a
parade.
Thank you,
Alexandria Terry
Mr. Hickam's assistant
