I like your tag line.. Sorry Kerry is such a jerk. I for one do not believe one word he said about you folks. The Vietnam Veterans I have met have all been great patriots and good,decent people. Every single one of them.

Not only is he unfit to lead- he is unfit to collect your garbage.

Dedicated to you Tonk!

I Wont Back Down
-Tom Petty

Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down

Chorus:
(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
...and I won't back down

(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
(I won't back down)
and I won't back down...

(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
hey I won't back down
(and I won't back down)
hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down)
hey I will stand my ground
(and I won't back down)
and I won't back down
(I won't back down)
No I won't back down... ~end~

Happy Birthday!

FREEDOM OF FRICKIN SPEECH BUMP

Note to all: Is this why I go on deployments away from my family and loved ones ???

Keep up the good work, and ignore those wussy little whiners, Shipmate.

[Chieftain]

Keep posting Tonk! We have a a war to win. This is like trying to fight the VC while the anti-war protesters are throwing a hissy fit!

[IPWGOP]

Tonk, first of all... I support you 100 percent. I consider you to be vital not only to Free Republic, but to the battle we call the Presidential Election of 2004. Only this year did I join FR, and much of that is due TO YOU and the JOY and INSPIRATION it gave me to see a person of your dedication... someone who had indeed been silenced for 30 years... someone over the age of 30 who still had a fire in their belly to do what they could to help this great country. And for anyone reading my comment here, I remind you of the following graphic and say, "walk a mile in Tonk's boots"

[Inspectorette]

Tonk, I am proud and honored to be on your ping list. Don't worry about people who are clueless.

Keep on fighting the good fight - President Bush MUST win, and win BIG, in November, and you are keeping this in the forefront. We all know that media big guns lurk here - Rush, Hannity, Brit, etc., and that's how the truth gets out: from our threads to their ears, then out to the world.

Again, thank you for your continuing service to our country!

[mystery-ak]

Tonk, you can spam me anytime.....Always Remember.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Tonk...have I told you lately that I *love* your pings and posts? Every day you ping me to what's important, and for that, I am greatly appreciative. Don't let the turkeys get you down. They have the same option as the rest of us when deciding between dial-up & high speed.

[stand watie]

PLEASE continue to post just as you have been doing.

you are doing a worthwhile SERVICE to all of us.

and let the "complainers" COMPLAIN. it's called FREEDOM of SPEECH!

[Spunky]

Keep up the good work Tonk.

[Chode]

Tonk... Screw-em!!! Bravo Zulu

[GOP_1900AD]

Keep on posting and to the whiners, STFU!

[Calpernia]

You have permission to post anything and everything you want on any thread I post!

::stands at Tonk's side::

[LibertyLight]

Hey Hunky Tonk Man.... NEVER STOP!!! KEEP 'EM COMING!!!
LOve your posts and information!!!!!!!
You were the first I found(and met) when I arrived at FreeRepublic - you and your friends at the Canteen kindly welcomed me and put me on your ping list! I have been delighted ever since.

Hugs from LibertyLight, friends and all my family who fought to make this a free nation - from the American Revolution onward.

[RottiBiz]

So I'll shut up and toe the line. I'd hate to upset certain FReepers.

Please don't ever shut up!!!!

Keep on posting and pinging -- those upset by your diligence in getting the message out don't deserve to call themselves Freepers.

Godspeed, Tonkin.

[Chieftain]

I second Linda's comments!

Tonk, you are a WARRIOR!!

[clamper1797]

If it's not JR or any of the mods ... tell the clymer to cram it Tonk

Hey Brother, I salute you for being there for all of us, especially the veterans. You KNOW THE HATEFUL COMMENTS ARE COMING FROM THE LEFT. I want to stay on your ping list.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, BOTH MILITARY AND ON FR.
