Great article in today's paper. I love the quote from Cpl Joseph Lorek "The more we are over here fighting them, the less likely they'll be bombing us at home." Why can't the idiots like Michael Moore understand that???

Thanks for this post!

I printed it out, and will include it in the "care" package we are posting tomorrow to our Marine Sergeant son, who is "over there".

I admit it's hard on me to hear of their suffering. I'm awed, every single day, by these marvelous young people.

The Marines said they accept the deaths as the price paid for freedom and for ensuring that Americans can enjoy the Fourth of July in relative safety.

When my brother's unit lost 3 of their own, he sent me this quote:
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." - General George S. Patton, Jr.

May God watch over our soldiers.

What I really detest ??

"While Americans celebrated 228 years of freedom yesterday..."

Except for here in Hot Springs Arkansas where there was NO parade, there were NO flags flown (YES at my house!), there were NO bands, NOTHING in the newspaper.

I am sick of the people in this country who don't give a dammed - but I'll be damned if I EVER give one inch to these left-wing radical pieces of crap that call themselves lawyers, politicians, and judges!


"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
-- Ronald Reagan

Because idiots like Michael Moore and his moviedom Ilk, are users, abusers, and exploiters of this country. I have said this before-but I'll say it again! The Garbage bag trash of the wealthy beyond their worth left, love America like termites loves the house they feast upon or as maggots respect the corpse they devour for lunch.

My apologies to termites and maggots for this un-fair comparison.

Thanks bkwells, even if all those home don't "get it" it's good to know the military does.
