OLLIE NORTH RAISING MONEY TO SEND FAMILIES TO DOVER TO RECEIVE THE REMAINS OF THE KILLED SOLDIERS TOMORROW
I called Ollie North when I learned that Pentagon won’t pay for the families of the killed soldiers to travel to tomorrow’s transfer of remains ceremony on Dover Air Force Base. Ollie – like you, like I am – is outraged. He is scrambling to see if he can locate the families of the killed soldier and to raise money to get them to Dover. Time is running out (the remains of our heroes arrive tomorrow) but we are trying. This is so cruel that the Pentagon, claiming SHUTDOWN, is not paying to bring these families to Dover. These families have given us so much — and is this really what we are doing to them? Telling them, ‘tough luck..there is a shutdown.’ Shame on us!

God bless Ollie North.
Just donated. I can’t even describe how I feel about the evil running our once great country right now. God bless our selfless warriors and keep their families safe.
I am well beyond OUTRAGE.
Tell Churchill that we cannot participate in D-Day. The government has shutdown because the President wont negotiate over his signature domestic power grab.
Ollie is right .
We can - and will - take care of our own.
Ollie news!
I donated. Tough to believe!
“Also....Fisher House also committed to providing grants to the families...donate at www.fisherhouse.org.”
The radio program I was listening to on the way home was talking about this - the 2 hosts lean left but are very supportive of the military. One of the soldiers killed was a nurse stationed a Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma, WA.
Apparently she volunteered to do this special duty. She went out with Special Forces teams (she happened to be with Rangers when an IED got her and 3 others in Afghanistan). She would go in with them on raids and take care of the women and children. She was also bringing healthcare to them.
The radio hosts were really ticked! They do fund raising, etc. for the Fisher House (there’s 1 at JBLM, but it’s always full and they’re trying to build another). Apparently, Fisher House and other donations are paying for the nurse’s family to fly to Dover so they can be there tomorrow a.m. to receive the nurse’s casket.
I thought I just heard Ollie say Wounded Warriors were helping, too. He or Chris S said that only Megyn and 1 other (don’t recall but could have been Greta) were talking about this.
Megyn just said that Twitter is going nuts about this.
Well, the golf course at Andrews AFB is open ... I guess the people are not attuned to the priorities of His Arrogance.
Please Freepmail me to be added to the Ollie North ping list.
Cute! Lol
Could be a health issue, but tonight on Kelly file, Ollie’s voice was obviously weak/shaky. It could have been anger or possibly holding back on tears. Did anyone else notice?
Thanks for the ping, Jaz!
bttt
I hate f’n Obama so much I can’t see straight. I am blind with rage at the moment (are you picking this up, NSA??)
Col. Allen West is raising money too.
Find the families—Get them tickets—get them a place to stay—ease their pain and suffering! lastly, remember who caused this additional suffering to people who have given so much. Let no insult, MSM rant, or Propaganda cause you to support those who are behind it. Let not one day pass that you do not do all in your power to Drive the Progressives from Power and the sacred White House!
Yes, he appeared on the verge of tears.
Thank you for the ping, Jaz.
So here’s a BUMP.
This should be shouted from the rooftops.
And see Post #38.
God bless Oliver North.
