By Paul Greenberg

Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire.

Funny how lines from an old movie occur to you at a time like this, when you learn of the death of an old soldier who never sought the limelight yet earned a footnote in a presidential campaign. The look of the country does change because of the men we admire. For good or ill.

"Men such as Eugene Holmes need no monuments. Like all the truly great, as the poet said, they leave the vivid air signed with their honor."

THe difference between men like Eugene Holmes and Bill Clinton is the difference between honor and dishonor.

RIP, Eugene Holmes

I still find looking back at the Clinton years a very painful thing to do.

Eugene Holmes, may God rest your soul.

Compare the MSM's yawn when this authentic Vietnam era document is revealed, to that of CBS.

I read this article this morning in the Washington Times.

Even though I have been a registered member of FR for some time, I have never considered my computer sk ills to be good enough to post an article.

This morning, though, I thought, "This needs to be shared with all Freepers (and lurkers as well)".

I'm glad that I was able to post this for two reasons.

1. So that others could read it.

2. To honor a very honorable, decent man -- Eugene Holmes.

I've been called many things....

But never Irene!

(although it is a very nice name, I prefer my own name).

I have the same first name as Mr. Jenner, Mr. Willis, and Mr. Springsteen.

You're quite welcome.

By the way, I went to your profile page, and there are many good things on it.

My favorite, though (and I've saved it for possbile future use), is the comment you have from scamorama.com.

Absolutely priceless!
