I’ve read this several times, and would urge others to take a few minutes to read it as well.

From: American Sheepdogs, The Chester County Victory Movement
The Chester County Victory Movement started with a simple purpose – to support our troops. With the guidance of our leader, retired Navy veteran Rich Davis, we’ve grown into one of the largest grass roots pro-troop, conservative movements in the mid-Atlantic region.We support conservative values and policies, strict interpretation of the Constitution, and a strong national defense. We are also firm believers that victory is always the answer and peace comes through military strength. God bless America.
WE PROTECT THE SHEEP FROM THE WOLVES!
I love this article. I have to look up that book.
If you think of it, let me know what you think of the book.
A ‘Must Read’ Ping.
Great letter...outstanding.
I’m going to have to add that to the reading list. Great stuff, thanks for the heads up!
Bloody Sam pinged me on this fantastic “must read”...
I am now pinging you.
G-d Bless our “Sheepdogs!”
