"WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN"
Vanity | uncleshag

Posted on 10/10/2004 6:10:36 PM PDT by uncleshag

My email arrived with this photo tonight. For 1stSgt Dave Jobe of Baker Company, somewhere in Iraq, I publish this .jpg where it will surely be appreciated.



The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute to our fallen commrades. So, since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq, the one way that we could think of doing that is by taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country."

Semper Fi 1stSgt Dave Jobe

The attached photo was forwarded from one of the last U.S. Marine companies in Iraq. They would like to have it passed to as many people as possible, to let the folks back home know that they remember why they're there and that they remember those who've been lost.

Thank you! I'm glad somebody remembers. Kerry seems to have forgotten. Oh, that's right, 9-11 was just a "nuisance."

I've made a copy and will post it in the office.

Sgt Jobe, Thank you for your service, and I pray you safely return home when your tour is complete.

How this never makes the headlines baffles me. I think we should have a soldier from Iraq give news reports and blog it over the web and see if people respond to the truth of the good in Iraq. I think its a shame that so many are dying for a cause that promotes freedom and good.

DO THEY NOT KNOW THAT KERRY IS DOING THE SAME NOW THAT HE DID IN VIETNAM. OUR SOLDIER MUST BE DEFENDED. I CALL UPON ALL VETS TO SPEAK UP IN NUMBERS

AWESOME!

and yet there are people who will go to a polling place and cast a vote for John Kerry and John Edwards. This is a great country.....or is it?

Thanks for sharing the inspiring pic. God bless our troops!

And we have not forgotten you. Words are feeble tools to express the gratitude and admiration we hold for our great troops. You are as good as we've ever had, and that's not faint praise. We truly owe our lives and our nation to you and the long, proud line that went before you. Thank you all!!

Any wonder why the USA has the best military in the world, with the best soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in the world as well..

We owe these men and women not only our support, but our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren..

God bless them in their brave task, and God protect them all.

We haven't forgotten you who so proudly serve our country either. I believe I can speak for most of us who remain here at home when I tell you how proud all of us are of you! I pray for all of you on a daily basis. Keep up the good work, and God bless all of you.

You are so right about Kerry and his idea of a what a nuisance is.

A fly in the room while sleeping is a nuisance.
Sand in your trunks at Myrtle Beach is a nuisance.
Fire ants in your lawn are a nuisance.

9-11 was an act of war - plain and simple - not a nuisance!

Will sKerry remain a senator after Nov. 2nd ??

SHEESH!
