Retired Marine weeping on Dennis Prager show
Dennis Prager show | 11-4-04 | dfu

Posted on 11/03/2004 10:35:13 AM PST by doug from upland

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.

I was listening to Dennis today, and I could tell he was deeply moved by the President's victory.

For you, dfu:

No retreat, no surrender - to the Boss

Well, we voted out Dem ass
Had enough of those fools
We learned more from a Bush stump speech
Then we ever learned from you

Tonight I hear that DU's shut down
I can feel your hopes begin to drown
You say you're hopeful 'bout those exit polls
But you see the truth now


So go tell the UN
France and Bin Laden
No retreat baby, no surrender!

This sentiment was expressed on several threads today. Truly touching and wonderful.

"This was the most important election of my lifetime."

Doug, you and I have been around on this forum for a long time.

Not only was this the most important election in our lifetimes, it was the most important event to ever happen on FR.

This has been like on of those events you look back on and KNOW that it was scarier than you allowed yourself to believe at the time.

"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."

No, I think they've been vindicatd. It's over.

It is very hard not to weep tears of joy today. Thank you to everyone on this forum who served our country then and now, in uniform or out. This was a most imporant mission ! You are all patriots.

I understand that Dan Rather (confused and clueless) is still holding out for a recount (dammit!).

I was so disheartened by the exit polls, that I shut everything down and watched a movie. I didn't get involved until about 9pm Pacific.

Our veterans have been raised up and given their due in this election.
Deepest thanks to all of them and especially, the Swifties.

May your daughter have a wonderful healthy baby. You will know that we are being led by someone who understands the enemy who would harm your grandchild.

I know how you feel, my daughter voted in her 1st Presidential election yesterday, also. Many of her friends are conservatives and it makes me feel good that there is hope for the future of this great country!

My husband is also a Vietnam Vet and his anger toward Kerry and the Jane Fonda types run deep .

I've been praying for 4 years for this day. God has indeed blessed our country once more. God bless America, God bless our troops and God bless President Bush.

God Bless that retired marine. God Bless Dennis Prager. And God Bless the Swift Boat veterans.

This morning my daughter and I were discussing the SwiftVets and all they have done for all of us. She exclaimed, "I LOVE THOSE GUYS!!". She is 16!

Thank God they have been vindicated.

Marines don't retreat and Marines don't cry.
We just attack in a different direction and wash our eyes differently too.

To Our Vietnam Vets-

Thank you for your service. Thanks to you, those currently serving will be honored and protected. You are HEROS, and I hope the rejection of Kerry has helped to heal some of those wounds.
