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 Vietnam vets will not be completely vindicated until Kerry is gone completely. We need to keep up the pressure and have him thrown out of office and exposed as the traitor and liar he is.
"This was the most important election of my lifetime. No matter how old you are, it is probably the same with you."
Absolutely. Great Post!!
You know, I felt like an idiot as I stood in line at the polls yesterday. It was all I could do not to cry. I was just so overwhelmed at how important this election and how excited I was to vote.
Maybe I don't feel so stupid for getting so emotional now.
I was going to make the same point about the south.
John
I listen to Prager daily and while I am a well documented hard@ss, I couldn't help but get choked up listening to this.
The answer is yes, for all time. Thank you again, Swift Boat Vets and POW's. Thank you.
Beautiful.
WOW!!
I was just going to make a post about this call. How moving. That call right there just gave me a different view on what this election means to some of the people here in America.
Amen to the former marine who called in. What a great exchange.
My 3 sons surely are. Two of them are over 18 - and had the wonderful privilege of getting to vote for the first time in a Presidential race. Their friends are quite conservative and pro-life, too. It's awesome to engage in conversations with them. How refreshing.
Go to http://www2.krla870.com/listen/ after 12:00 Pacific, and the show will be archived. About 75- 90 minutes into the show.
Thanks for putting this up.
Cut it out cut it out!
Now I can't help thinking about the unborn who were just spared from an IRONCLAD right to abortion.
This is truly the most important election since Abraham Lincoln...
Not me. Jus' sumthin' in my eye, thass all.
I know I've prayed and prayed for President Bush to win re-election; however, I'm going to have to make one more request of the man upstairs. Please Lord, let our President mention the vindication of our brave Vietnam veterans today. Thank you and amen.
I told an aquaintance of mine (liberal) that the youth is turning conservative, she was shell shocked. I am seeing this more and more.
They are sick of all the transparent tactics that are taking place in politics today. I am proud of them.. There is hope for our country yet.
Welcome home Marine.
I read somewhere online last night that from now on, November 2nd should be Veteran's Day. If nothing else, it was this year. God bless them all.
As I waited in line and looked around, I had one thought. Some of the idiots around me were cancelling out my vote.
