Ahhhh Yes!

The old waving of the Hawaiian Good Luck sign as exhibited by the residents of the Hanoi Hilton towards their captors; until their guards found out what it really meant.

The true strength of the American experiment lies not in it institutions, it's economic system nor it's Govt not it media elites. It rests on the broad shoulders of the Men and Women who day after day lay their bodies between our homes and those who mean us harm. That in this sad and sorry age we still produce such men, is a proof of God's mercy. God, please help my country be worthy of the scarifies these men make on her behalf.

Thanks Marine Gunnery Sgt. Michael Burghardt. Lots of free people around the world get a good nights sleep because of YOU and others like YOU.

As far as I'm concerned, his 1 finger salute was for Cindy Sheehan, Ted Kennedy, and any other whiners that do not support our American service men and women.

"I knew there was somebody disappointed out there."

Disappointed and probably a bit scared too!
