THIS IS AN EMIAL THAT I RECIEVED FROM THE PEOPLE AT FORT QUALLS TODAY:
Thank you for calling...you can help...we have decided to make a TV AD about Mr. Qualls to counter the one that Cindy has on the air...it will take a lot of money so if you and friends can send some support you can mail it to:
Operation Building Bridges
C/o Johnson Roofing
POB 11009
Robinson, TX 76716
Bill Johnson of Johnson Roofing started the building bridges when he hosted a soldier party at his ranch a couple of months ago for the Ft. Hood soldiers...it was very successful...it let the soldiers know that people do care - 76 people relisted that had said they were not going to before the party... Go to:
to find information about that man whose son was killed last year...the Cindy group had his name on a cross...Mr. Qualls went out and picked it up because he didn't want his son's to be associated with that group...he had to do it 2 more times...
Again, thank you for calling...hope you hear more about us.

Gary Qualls speaks out
By Thaddeus DeJesus | August 20, 2005, 09:45 PM
On Saturday, Gary Qualls issued a letter to Cindy Sheehan. Qualls, whose son, Marine Lance Cpl. Louis Qualls, was killed in the battle for Fallujah, has taken exception to the use of his sons name in a makeshift memorial created by peace activists at Sheehans Camp Casey near President Bushs ranch.
Next week, Fort Qualls will have a grand opening as a counter-protest site in downtown Crawford.
The following is an unedited version of Qualls letter, which he read at a rally Saturday.
Cindy Sheehan,
I stand before you, your group of protesters, your unjust and unethical supporters. I also am a parent of a Fallen Hero, Lance Corporal Louis W. Qualls. I repossessed my sons name and cross from your display, and I have informed you publicly to never use my sons name for your unjust and political agendas. I publicly asked you and your followers to cease this activity, and to respect our Fallen Heros [sic], and honor them as they deserve. Our Fallen Heros [sic] gave their lives for this great country, for the people of Iraq, for all people that wish for freedom, and for the world, and they have earned our due respect and honor. All of our volunteers that serve in our military service have done so own [sic] their own accord. They have put their lives on the line for our ways of life, freedom and freedoms of speech. I have had phone calls and have heard from other parents of our Fallen Heros [sic] that are across this great nation, on radio stations, expressing their discontent on the use of their sons and daughters names on your cross display and for your political agenda. These great families are ashamed of you, your protests, and what you are trying to accomplish. You have not ever asked any great heros [sic] families for permission to use their fallen hero and family names. How dare you bring your pitiful and unjust protest into my back yard of Texas, and into the front yard of President George W. Bush.
Cindy Sheehan, you do have your right to protest and express your feelings. But you also have the duty and responsibilities as an American to use and set proper examples of honor and trust within this great nation, especially when using our fallen heros [sic] names.
America and the world has witnessed and watched you express what you want. But you have also shown that you do not know how to express the difference between what you want and what We the People truly need. War is not a pretty sight and always carries a loss of lives. But we Americans stand as a combined nation of all nationalities worldwide, and are known throughout this world as We the People. For you, Cindy Sheehan, have started an unethical protest within our nation, and in my backyard, the great state of Texas. We have seen and we have heard your unpatriotic voice long enough. We the People are starting to stand up and speak against you and your self-centered interests and pitiful perverted followers.
I am just an average man. I, myself, provided 28 years of service to our federal government and military. My son, Louis, was just starting his career when he gave his life to save his fellow brethren and the people of Iraq, our country, as well as the world. My youngest son, 16 years old, also wishes to serve our country. I will not stand in his way of his freedom to do so. I have been a single parent, dad, and father for most my sons [sic] lives. God blessed me with two great sons [sic], and I have only one left. But if it takes the sacrifice of myself and my whole family to see to the security and health and well fair [sic] of The United States of America, and the world, then so be it!
Cindy Sheehan, as Americans and citizens of The United States of America, we all know that we cannot afford to just sit around and wait to loose [sic] another 3,000, or another 3,000, or another 3,000 innocent people from terrorism and terrorists. All families that have lost loved ones in this war and prior wars grieve with you and your loss, as well as myself, and all others. We all know that it is a price to be paid, for Freedom is Not Free! It has come time for all of us to put away our differences, and everyone in this great nation to stand up, One Nation Under God, and Indivisible, to fight for Liberty and Justice for All! I myself, and all decent standing Americans, do Pledge Allegiance to our Flag, and The United States of America.
I am personally asking senators and Congress to put away your self-centered agenda and to start working together as a unified people [sic] and representatives of our people, for we are at a state of war, and need better unity from all leaders of this country, The United States of America.
Cindy Sheehan, it is also time for you to go back home to the rest of your family. This should be your first priority as a parent and a mother. Honor your responsibilities and go back home.
God Bless America, God Bless President George W. Bush.
Father of a fallen hero,
Gary W. Qualls
