MY SON is a new active duty United States Marine.
I am compelled to thank you for watching his, and all United States Armed Service's men's and women's, back in Crawford this weekend. There are no words that will adequately describe my thanks for your response to the woman and her dangerous agenda in Crawford. I am, simply, in your debt.
It has never been more obvious that the MSM cares less for our troops than Casey Sheehan's mother.
Their sins of omission in the reporting of Saturday's efforts to SUPPORT OUR TROOPS while continuing to promote her dangerous agenda tell the story. An MSM story today about a Marine suffering from PTSD who fired a gun out his window mentioned he was a decorated Marine. Proof of MSM's loyalties lie as well in the realization that I don't read stories in the MSM about the decorations our Armed Forces receive...unless there's a nice nasty twist to it, and then sometimes there's really no mention of the bravery or sacrifice that produced a decoration.
I used to practice this to improve my typing speed and never had better reason to type it than at this moment:
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
Thank you for being those "good men".
Jules
And welcome to FR.
May God bless and keep your son safe. We are proud of him and all of our sons and daughters who choose to serve this great nation..
Since your son is in the Military, I think the debt runs from us to you and him. Hey, ya'll, here is a newbie vanity that I think you will really enjoy.
A rare but welcome thing! =)
Blessings to you, your son and your family and thanks above all else to this true patriot for serving his (our) country!
Amen
Welcome to FR and thank you and your son
One of the saddest aspects of this whole circus is that this Sheehan woman's son is a patriot who gave his life for his country, and likely would have given his life for your son's, and vice versa.
Prayers and gratitude with you and yours.
Welcome to FreeRepublic.
Thank you for raising a son who is willing to serve his country and make the world safer for all of us.
Welcome to Free Republic and thanks for writing this.
Welcome to Free Republic Jules! (my name too:) We thank you for your son's service. Our great nation was founded on people like him. God Bless! We're thinking of you and praying for your family.
Welcome and God bless.
Tell you son "Thank you," for me. His service to our country keeps me and my family safe and free, and I never want to forget the price of my freedom that is borne by you son, and others like him. I pray your son returns safely.
Please thank your son for his service. I I also thank you for your selfless sacrifice.
My prayers are for his safe and timely return.
Ping!
ping!
Thank you for your son's service and I agree wholeheartedly with what your wrote. Welcome to FR, and thanks again. :-)
Guenevere, Thanks for the ping. :-)
No sir, Thank YOU! You and your son. We are completely in his debt, and yours as well. I have two small sons, and the thought of them perhaps serving in harms way some day brings pain to my stomach. I don't know HOW military family members get by each day. You people are special, and all of us here know that. Welcome to FreeRepublic, you have friends here. Nice to have you aboard :)
