Why don't you buy your girlfriend a ring?"
And particularly
they were trying to get the guys who were going to go to Vietnam:
"Better buy
something for your mother, you might not get to see her again. Something
to remember you."
They'd be out
there hustling, and they knew all the different raps to pull on a lonely
GI's heart strings.
And then they used
to have this deal where if you bought the ring and you were killed in
Vietnam ...
any
payments were suspended, the ring was paid off at that point. And
they put your name in the window on Tyrrell's Roll Call of
Honor, which was outrageous, because it was like, "Oh, you owe us money,
and you got killed, so we're going to put your name in the window to get
some other guy to do it.
BUDDY BOOK
So we decided to
do a boycott at the store in Killeem, and we began picket lines in front
of the Tyrrell's place.
