In probably the most poignant moment I have ever heard on talk radio, a retired Marine was weeping on the Dennis Prager show this morning.
He was choking on tears when he told Dennis that Dennis had been doing the Lord's work. Then, he asked Dennis if this finally meant that the Vietnam veterans had been vindicated. He could barely get that out. Dennis assured him that such was indeed the case.
Finally, these brave men who gave so much and were trashed by a traitor have been welcomed home.
Dennis admitted that he cried twice today in great relief that our country has been saved. The South and the values of Middle America made the difference. He went on to say that the North once saved our Union; now the South will save it.
This was the most important election of my lifetime. No matter how old you are, it is probably the same with you.
The election of GW over the War Criminal and traitorous Kerry, while certainly very good news for all Veterans, including Vietnam Vets, is NOT, IMHO, the OBVIOUS vindication or the long awaited Welcome Home.
It may be 'metaphorically' by in reality it is NOT!
God Bless our Viet Nam Vets. I still have a hard time with the fact that anyone that did what Kerry did would even get 1 vote in our nation, but I guess that's the way it is. Too many nit wits here.
I was praying that if nothing else, Kerry would be defeated for the sake of the Viet Nam Vets. Thank You Lord. God Bless you Viet Nam Vets . Bush would not have his victory if it wasn't for you. You protected our country and our military from having Kerry as Commander in Chief.
Thanks for your hard work and sorry for your having to open up the wounds again. But you did our nation a great service . Kerry really is Unfit for Command. The country needed to know this . I thank you for informing those of us who were too young to know what happened. Again God Bless you and your families.
I was up late too. Got to bed at 0615 CST. Could not bear that Ohio might go bad. Was real hard to take a nap. We have won a major battle.
Onwards.
