Just wanted to let Freepers know that Larry Northern, the man that knocked down the crosses outside the Bush ranch, is a Purple Heart winner from Vietnam. He was wounded by shrapnel that hit his juglar vein. I think maybe he had enough of Shean. She brings back the worst of how our soldiers were treated after Vietnam.
I think that is you uncle...
I posted my very first reply to another thread, wished I had known about yours. Hope I did justice to Mr. Northern.
Here is the link, my reply was 275...

Would your statement be the same if a liberal ran over a few dozen crosses and US flags?
Owen,
Here is a link to the Waco Tribune Paper that has an article, if you can believe anything the media print these days...Hopefully they got this fact right--It states he is a Purple Heart Recipient.

If that doesn't work...My mom and dad grew up with him and can vouch.

I notice that Democrat.com has profiled the Northern family and deemed Ms. Northern as " some sort of fundamentalist christian extremist." She's not one of those.
Larry in Vietnam in active combat. Whatever lack of respect he showed was surely directed at the leftist lunatic fringe rather than the current crop of people in the military.
