Ron Kovic of " Born on the Fourth of July " still active at age 70

Ron Kovic has more to tell

Veteran Ron Kovic certainly has not lived his anti-war life in vain. I was touched by " Born on the Fourth of July " - both the book and the movie.

 In the recent presidential election I could not vote for Hawk Hillary or the right wing nationalist Donald Trump. Working class Americans have had quite enough of imperialist wars and the New Colonialism in the Middle East.

Keep writing and feeling and thinking, Ronnie.


 [ “Hurricane Street” is dedicated to Kovic’s girlfriend, TerriAnn Ferren. He is enjoying their life together in Redondo Beach, staying committed to activism and pouring himself into his next work.
“I love to write—I feel like I forget about the paralysis, I forget about the wheelchair,” Kovic said. “When I write, I just feel free and I feel like I’m in another world.”]
