[Let's Roll]

If they really are objecting - or is it just the anti military NYT trying to cause doubt in the minds of the American people?

I wear a cammy cover, or a Corps baseball cap when away from home, keeps the cold off the noggin. I get a lot of Semper Fis or OOOOOOH RAAAAAHS, from the guys who are Marines, a lot of nods and how are yous from guys and gals wearing ball caps of other services.

I look for the older guys with WWII or KOREA caps, tell them how my father in law was a DE sailor on convoy duty in the North Atlantic, or how my dad would tell me how damned cold it was in Korea. He was Air Force, they were flying props. If their wives are with them, I ask if they knew the vet when they were deployed. If they did, I thank them for their support for their men-folk. I always get thanked, and many times am asked about my time in Nam with the Corps.

I thank cops and state troopers whenever I see them, and I remind them that not everyone is an asshole like the mayor of New York City. I get a lot of smiles and thanks.

I told my dad after he was finally out of the ANG that I would never let the the current generation of veterans down the way his did when we came home from Nam. BTW, his unit flew F100s out of Tuy Hoa in 68-69. He was the line chief.

Free Republic had a lot of vets at the Gathering of Eagles in 2007 in DC when we faced down INTLANSWER. We have not, and we willnot let our vets down, never again.
