Fellow Americans:
I'm so very proud of my son who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He knew the mission was important, and he understood that the war in Iraq was central to the war on terrorism.
Sadly, my son (Lance Cpl. Michael Jason Williams) lost his life in combat in this war. My life changed forever when I got a knock at my door, informing me that Michael had been killed in action. My son is my hero.
As a father, I can't tell you what a gut-wrenching blow it was, and still is. Not a day goes by I don't think about my child. But the Anti-American, anti-war crowd that pretends to 'support the military, but not the mission' are a pack of liars.
Some people, like Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore, have tried to exploit the death of Michael and others who lost their lives in Iraq, in order that they might advance their far left political agenda.
If we don't stand up to the Cindy Sheehans, Michael Moore's and the politicans who are using Michael's death to further their agenda of undermining our Commander-in-Chief, then Michael Jason William's devotion to this great country will be rendered meaningless.
I know from bitter experience.
I am a Vietnam veteran.
I don't know what is so hard for the people in today's anti-war movement to understand. Radical Islamic Extremists are determined to kill Americans and destroy our way of life.
In Iraq the terrorist insurgency is led by a fellow named Zarqawi, his position is the leader of "Al Qaeda in Iraq" yet the anti-war crowd marches through our streets proclaiming that the war in Iraq has nothing to do with the war against terrorism.
Well, I've had enough of the misguided, anti-military and even anti-American rhetoric from the anti-war crowd. They seem to be rooting for our enemies more than our own troops at times.
So I've decided to help fight back.
I've leant my voice and my story - and the story of my son's sacrifice for his nation - to Move America Forward, for them to use in a national radio ad campaign.

Thank you for reading my letter.
Sincerely Yours,
Joseph Williams Vacaville, California
You sir are a great American and your son deserves to be honored by us all. I too serve in the US army and would willingly go to Iraq or Afghanistan to fight the tyranny that some would have us live under. I just pray that I am raising my children to feel the same as I do. They also know that freedom isn't free. Unfortunately the price is higher for some than others. God bless you and welcome your son into His kingdom.
Thanks for passing this on Jim. America needs to realize that these brave men and women are following in the footsteps of the Founding Fathers by pledging their lives, if necessary, for the cause of liberty and freedom.
Ditto's. I have to sincerely agree that your son did indeed die for a good cause. History will bare this out.
Joseph Williams
Let us remember those names in all honor.
I agree 100% with the above sentiment and will venture further. Sheehan, Moore, Kennedy, Reid, Dean, Howard, Pelosi, Fonda, Kerry, et al, and their America hating followers are betraying their countrymen while offering aid and comfort to the enemy during wartime. There's a formal word for this activity: TREASON. These despicable traitors should be dealt with accordingly.
An "in spades" DITTO here in line with the sentiments already expressed!!!!
Your son is forever a hero in my heart!!!
Amen.
BTTT

Yes, sir! I wish we could bring back the standard of conduct we had in WWII.
They ARE traitors and I would not waste my spit on them if their faces were on fire.
Amen to that too.
May God bless you and your family. Prayers.
