LINK TO THE THREAD WITH THE MESSAGE FROM Captain Pierce

This is CPT Pierce. To the FREEPers, keep the faith folks we will do our jobs. That is my promise to you all. Watch our backs back here in the world. Right now we are waiting for transport north. And for obvious reasons I cannot disclose much more than that. Thank you for your kind words and your support. They mean a great deal to my men and myself. I sign this to you folks ... socomofficer. God bless America and all those who understand that freedom comes with a price tag.

===============================================

FReepers, Blurblogger and I got to meet Captain Pierce at the KABC event on Wednesday night in Redondo Beach. He had recently joined the FReep on Hollywood.

The biggest round of applause during the evening was not for Sean Hannity. It was for Mike when he got up to ask a question and began by saying he was heading back to Iraq on Friday. Everyone in the theatre jumped to their feet and gave him a huge standing O. At the end of the night, he was called up on stage.

Mike, send us back some good news when you have the opportunity. You take care of the terrorist bastards over there; we will take care of the anti-American leftist bastards over here. Godspeed. It was an honor meeting you.

In typical humble fashion when he was on stage, Mike refused the designation of "hero." No, he said, the real heroes are my comrades who didn't come back.

God speed Capt.

P.S Can you bring us back Zarqawi's ear?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I have always know it is true Doug. Thanks for the reminder! Our veterans and troops are the true peace keepers- they always have been. May God bless them and all of their loved ones. Freedom is not free.

And now, here are some pix of Capt. Mike Pierce, the Army patriot who FREEPED THE OSCARS with Rondog and me and others...very cool to run into Mike there. However, Mike has been yanked from leave and is being shipped back this weekend to Iraq and he's ready to kick terrorist BOOTY. He knows the importance of what our LIBERATORS are doing overseas, to keep us safe in our beds and PJs. He GOT A STANDING O from the audience. He was asked to come up to the platform and was honored and thanked by all the talk show hosts as being a hero.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE SAID? With tears in his eyes, he said he's not a hero, the ones who went over and didn't come back are the heroes. And now there are tears in my eyes.

Truly you too are a hero, a patriot and an American MAN OF HONOR, Capt. Pierce!







There were a few laughs as Sean tried to fix up our hero with a dinner date from a cute Conservative girl in the audience, before he returns to Iraq. Who knows?

Amen Lady P.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Capt. Pierce, THANK YOU for doing your job. I am proud to know you and that many thousands of AMERICAN MEN and AMERICAN WOMEN are valiantly serving America and fighting for truth and freedom overseas. Men and women are free in the MidEast that have been oppressed for centuries. And other oppressed people are hearing it, seeing it and WANT IT. You are the torch-bearer, the messenger of the Bush Doctrine.

Captain, I PROMISE YOU that I and other FReepers will be fighting tooth and nail here, against the enemy within. We can't deal with them in the same, summary way as their comrades in Fallujah's spiderholes--but the ideologies and even much of their propaganda are the same. We will make the enemy within GREASE FOR OUR TANK TREADS by relentlessly torpedoing them with truth, outing their lies, posting photos of liberated Afghans, Iraqis and soon Lebanese and others and NEVER letting be forgotten Pearl Harbor, D-Day, 9/11 and moral cowards like Ward Churchill and frauds like Hillary Clinton. We will not rest, we will not retreat. We will push the lying enemy into the sea with our keyboards and faxes and boycotts and counterprotests and votes.

(I'm choked up.)

Godspeed and God Bless you, Captain. I salute you and all our military. Forward, march we all.


(Good call to start this as a separate thread, DFU. Thanks.)

[Recon Dad]

Good luck and God Speed from a father of a Recon Marine. You and your men are the finest fighting force in the world.

[doug from upland]

Our prayers for your warrior, RD.

[armymarinemom]

God Speed.

[doug from upland]

Great tagline. May your sons and all those who did what your sons did never be forgotten by this nation. Never.

[LauraleeBraswell]

Godbless you for fighting for freedom and our national safety.

[just me]

[sofaman]

Thank you....and Godspeed.

[luvie]

To our new FReeper FRiend, Capt. Mike, Godspeed and God protect you and all the heroes in harm's way! Keep us posted as to how things are going over there--the real story! You will be in our hearts and in our prayers until you, and all your buddies, are back safely in our arms here in America! For, you see, you and....

....and you all have our eternal THANKS!

[RoseofTexas]

God's covering on you and the rest of our brave soldiers! May the Lord shine his face upon you and give you peace and favor with all who come in contact with you!!

[gidget7]

God Bless you Mike and keep you safe!!! You honor us all by your service to our country! We will do our best here to be worthy of that honor, for all of you who fight for freedom.

As for those who do not deserve the sacrifices you and others like you make to keep us free, let us here worry about them. You make US PROUD!!

[apackof2]

God Bless You CPT Pierce and thank you

[Enterprise]

Merciful Father in Heaven protect and keep this fine man safe. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

[gidget7]

Maybe you should call in to Seans show again, and ask him! I would love to hear if there was any connection made! It's always nice to know you have someone at home, to come home to.

Thanks for doing this, Doug.

Godspeed for a victorious tour of duty and a safe return, from an old treadhead.
