After I woke up this morning, I spoke with Debbie Lee, mother of Marc Lee, the first Navy SEAL to give his life in Iraq. She was the tall blonde who gave totals throughout the night on the webathon. (Look our Vanna White!)
Debbie told me that the response soothed her grieving heart.
I have always known that America loves our troops, but this was . . .unbelievable, Debbie said. I am humbled by the service of all of my heroes, and now Americans have shown me that I was right about them. They support our heroes, too. They do.
Debbie Lee is one awesome Gold Star Mother. I have been at many events with her, and she never ceases to amaze me.

The love we show for our troops pales in comparison to the love they show for their country!
God bless each and every one of them!

Speaking of that, all of you lefties who support our troops, where are your checks?We know what LIEberals mean when they claim to "support the war on terrorism"...
LIEberals leave no doubt about what they mean when they "support the troops"...

What awesome news! I enjoyed watching “From The Frontlines” broadcast and it was a pleasure to donate to such a worthy cause. Michelle, Melanie and Debbie Lee are amazing women. God Bless Our Troops and their Families! Land of the Free because of our Brave Heroes!

That was a great undertaking yesterday, and the success is well deserved. Currently they show
$1,213,558
raised so far, and more still to come from mail and ongoing pledges and contributions. Thank you for posting both this and Melanie's notes; Melanie and Michelle were great together.
