Go Harold! You said it for all of us! Thank you!
I would never consider myself worthy enough to stand in the same room with this guy, yet I am so extremely proud of his service to this country...
Just checked it with the lefty site Snopes and it confirms it to be legit: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/haroldestes.asp
Thank you Master Chief Estes for telling it like it is!
Hear! Hear! And a tip of the hat to Master Chief Bos’n Mate Harold Estes.
...”and just who do you think you are”...awesome!
My Daddy served in WWII as well, he is heart-broken over what has happened to the country for which he fought.
This is what I love about the older generations. They tell it as it is. I agree with him 100%.
Thanks for checking.
Way to go “Boats”! Deck Division tells it like it is.
Full Speed ahead and Fair Winds from a fellow Squid!
I think when people like him rise up...it means that there are alot of people already ahead of him who feel the same way.
The American public got buffaloed. It won’t happen again.
We need good people to lead us.
We know there is no such thing as a moderate democrat. We learned the hard way, but we can undo the wrong in November, which can’t come fast enough.
Unfortunately, the great chill giver, the one and only islamic muslim-in-chief will never read it; will never see it; and his handlers will never allow it's truth to reach him.
The first inkling he'll have is when he's thrown out of office....and he'll blame that on the race card.
More's the shame....but out he goes.
From one vet to another....thanks again.
When anything reads that well and makes me so proud, I have learned to check, just in case.
How happy was I to see that even the liberal snopes (which leans left but is pretty honest) authenticated it! :)
I was never in the military, but I have learned a few things from all my FRiends here (I stop by the Canteen when I get a chance).
Is a “Boat” revered like a “Gunnie” in the Army and Marines? I don’t know the vernacular so I just saluted his official rank :)
Thanks and Fair Winds to you as well!
Awesome !!
Shared with my email list as well........Thanks Steve !!!
This should be spread all over the place...hard to believe a 95 year old could dictate that...if it was up to Obama the guy would probably be dead by now for lack of medical care.

My father retired in 1947 as a Navy chief, and passed away in 1973. I’m glad that he never had to see what our country had become after he had served it for so many years.
I like his letter :)
