One-Legged Vet Backs Pardon For Draft Evaders
Vietnam veteran Capt. James T. Jorgensen who lost a leg supports President Carter's draft evader pardon. He says the war is over and urges national unity while saying he would not stop his sons from seeking safety in Canada if they chose to avoid service. He contrasts his stance with Lt. Col. Raymond Schrump who rejected the pardon and praised his own sacrifice.
