The Senate has already done its job ... but lets not let them forget just the same.
The President is the ony one left now. If he signs the Defense Appropriation Legislation currently on his desk ... according to Duane Frederic, it WILL happen.
Please write the President.
God bless you and yours and Merry Christmas. I just wish Col. Rowe and Rocky's mom and dad were still alive ... but I have a feeling they all know and are rejoicing at the recognition, so well deserved, of honor, duty, valor and courage ... an example so sorely needed in our time. Rocky and his story (and really the story of James Rowe's experiences and dedication too) fit that bill.
I wish Doug Miller were still alive to see this happen. Hell,I just wish he were still alive. He spent thousands of dollars of his own money and untold hours of time visiting DC and trying to get this done. He and LTC Bob Howard were both involved in this,and both men knew a little something themselves about what it takes to be a hero. Bob Howard is the most decorated American soldier in HISTORY. More valor awards than Sgt Alvin York and Lt.Audie Murphy combined. Of course,he and Doug both are MOH winners.
BTW,if Bubba Bush doesn't sign this,he might as well go ahead and wipe his ass on the flag. I can't think of anything he could do that would be more disrespectful of America than not take the trouble to sign a simple document that would FINALLY give recogonition to one of the bravest and patriotic young heroes this or any other nation has ever known. I still get teary-eyed at the thought of Rocky stuck down in his hole in the rain the morning they came to execute him,singing God Bless America at the top of his lungs to inspire the other POW's while he waited for his executioners. THERE,by God was a hero and a MAN!
