John O'Neill to Free Republic -- Thanks for everything...

[Interesting Times]

To The Citizens Of Free Republic:

We will never ever forget your support and help. Your threads not only encouraged us but kept the truth alive in a period when Big Media sought to suppress the story. Your e-mails and phone calls to Big Media at least shamed them. The thousands of contributions we got from you helped us to organize our website, produce our earliest ads, and keep the light flickering in the darkest of times. The English at Agincourt would have executed Kerry for meeting with the enemy and betraying them. In contrast, we found a true band of brothers who stood with us and supported us. Thank you. We will never forget it.

MEGA ping!

[OESY]

We would be honored to have [John O'Neill] and any [other Swift Vets and POWs] join us at our FR Inaugural Ball ... and I'm sure there are many who would like to thank them personally.

We would indeed be honored by your presence. You are true patriots. Is there any chance you guys could get a hold of a Swift Boat and sail up the Potomac to the Inaugural?

[Grateful One]

The brave just keep on giving!

[libsrscum]

John, you've gone thru hell several times for your country and countrymen. "Thanks" just isn't enough. You turned the tide this election and untold millions around the world, some alive, some not yet living, thank you.

It was an honor to "watch your back."

[onyx]

Oh my.
This is wonderful.
Can hardly wait to show my husband.
He let me contribute to them 4 times.

[The Mayor]

That is so nice to hear!

God Bless them all, they are the true Heroes in this whole thing.
I hope they are enjoying thier Victory as are all of us..

The Prayer thread was not my idea, but I was Proud to post it and Pray for them everyday!

A Heartfelt Thank You to you Mr O'Neill and all!

To: John and fellow honorable swift boat vets.
My sincerest thanks for your extended service to our country. If at any time in history we needed swift boat vets to fire a torpedo this was it and you scored a direct hit. Thank you for giving me the best bang for my contributions and for going all out to keep Komrade Kerry the hell out of the White house.
May God Bless you all as the true heroes you are.

Dear Mr. O'Neill, Swifties & Vietnam Vets,

Thank You and God Bless You.

God bless you and those who helped.

Kerry was a slime 30+ years ago, and hasn't changed one bit!

[ScholarWarrior]

John,

You only have to ask. You never have to thank. That's for us to do.

Thank You.

[SeaBiscuit]

A very humble and sincere thank you, to Mr. O'neill and all the SwiftVets for your great service and sacrifice to America, present and past.

[Right_in_Virginia]

"Thank you. We will never forget it."

Right back at you, Swiftboat heroes.

[cpdiii]

Thank you Mr O'Neill for once again coming to the defense of our great nation. This time you not only won the battles but also won the war!

I would hope the Swift Boat Vets would sue Kerry for defamation of character and thus open up his military records. This would be the final act in restoring the valor of the Vietnam Vets. Valor that was stolen from them by men such as Kerry.

The 200 dollars I sent to the Swift Boat Vets was good money well spent. I would contribute again to a legal fund to go after Kerry's records if it John O'Neill wants to pursue this.

[Rightfootforward]

It is most gracious of you to thank us. I considered it a privilege to be able to help promote your cause. Our mutual cause, more specifically.
From the moment I became aware of your book, I knew that if Bush won re-election, it would largely be to the credit of you and all the other Swiftees. What heroes you are! You always have been, but now millions of other Americans recognize that to be so. It's about time, and I am deeply happy for all of you.
Though it was often painful to watch when you were attacked by various, screaming members of the media, you never faltered, you always prevailed. Frankly, I've never witnessed another human being with your strength of character. You were inspiring. I admire you greatly.
I stand ready to assist you in any way I can in the future. In the interim, I trust that you will be able to go home for a well deserved rest. May God bless you and your wife and family.

While I am no fan of Tah-RAY-Zah, a walk-in beer cooler is just fine w/ me!

[texson66]

John,

I was my honor to contribute to the Swift Boat Vets to draw attention to the likes on such a dishonorable person as Mr Kerry. Your determination and foritude are greatly appreciated by me, my family, and the members of the Free Republic.

We can all be proud that in this case that good men (and women) DID do something to oppose evil and defeat it!

[who knows what evil?]

The English at Agincourt would have executed Kerry for meeting with the enemy and betraying them.

Instead, 57 million people cast a ballot to put him in the White House as Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces. G-d help us.

[thummy]

Thanks for posting this from Mr. O'Neill. He and the Swifties were brave heroes 30 years ago and again during the 2004 election. They are gentlemen who care about the integrity of our country.
I agree with Eternal Vigilance and a couple of others on this thread: These men should be "2004 Men of the Year!"
Thank you Mr. O'Neill for standing up for the truth.

We should be thanking him. John O'Neil is a true American hero.
