Blurry screen ping, for your ping lists.....
I have seen similar things happen in a whole lot of airports.
Support the troops bump!
Great post. We all need to say enough and slam the loosers like you did.
God bless folks like your husband and all the others who serve.

Authentic or not email, the story is real enough. I hear this tripe (conversations such as the woman in this story overheard) all too often when out. It still amazes me how factless and delusional a large portion of America is.
Teary bump.
Whenever I can---sometimes it would obviously be inappropriate---and I see people in uniform in an airport, I shake their hands and thank them for their service. They are usually surprised, as I gather it doesn't happen a lot.
This may just be another chain e-mail, but it's a good one!
I have no idea if this is real or not.
If this is real, kudos to that woman for standing up for her husband, her president and her country.
If it isn't, it should be. The only way liberals can win the war of words is if we choose not to fight it. Every time they actually say what they think, they lose.
..it is not a stretch to know there are rude, ignorant women and men who would say such lousy things and rundown our President, country and military ....on a daily basis...in a public place!!
..and as I read it, I kept thinking these loudmouth women might have raised their voices a level because they too figured out this group of clean cut men could be soldiers.
The soldier's wife was gracious........I don't know if I could have been so gracious......my emotions would have led!!--But she kept her cool and scored excellent points!!..Bravo!
This has enough ring of truth to be true!
Thanks for posting!!!!
Cubicle bound, and trying not to wail.
Thanks so much for sharing this. There is hope, after all. Godspeed to you and your family, we are not worthy of their bravery.
It's way past time for the silent majority to start speaking out against whining un-American Liberals who think they speak for the country. It's our obligation to defend our freedoms and protect our way of life here at home just as our brave soldiers defend our freedoms abroad. We can no longer afford to be silent as our supposed elected representatives, in collusion with the MSM, attempt to take away our freedoms.
Actually we need more people speaking out like this wonderful woman did. The liberals think that they own the world because they are loud and boisterous. They do not.
I was once thanked by a soldier because I ripped up a poster on the subway. The poster announced a forthcoming anti-war protest in or near the Walter Reed Medical Center. Simple acts like that will make a difference whether it be a few outspoken words while in a grocery store check out line, or in a restuarant, or in a queue in front of a movie theater. Otherwise such remarks go unanswered and insult those who cannot answer.
It's a terrific post! Verified or not, it should inspire us to act if and when the situation presents itself!
Like most e-mail stories, this may or may not be a completely true story. It is, however, quite plausible and undoubtedly many very similar confrontations have indeed happened. I've participated in a few.
It is the sort of thing that *should* be happening more and more, not less. Especially now as the end game approaches in Iraq. Those of us that believe in the mission need to stand up more than we do, shout down the misfits more than we do... and fly our flags higher and prouder than ever.
We're making history here. :-)
true or not, I'm crying, and it got another prayer for all of our troops out of me. It's true somewhere.
I swear about half the population of America is made up of adult children; that is, adults who have never grown up, who parrot idiocy they hear on tv, have no common sense, no sense of honor, duty or loyalty to country. And those are the good ones!
God help us all
Thanks for posting this, I'm sure it's based on fact.
Around the time the Iraq war started, can't remember if before or after an opinion article was printed in our paper.
The 4th ID was about to deploy and 4 attorneys from Los Angeles were in Texas on a business trip and were out to dinner. 4 troopers with the 4th were out to dinner and the attorneys noticed them and payed for their dinner and talked to them. It was a poignant article and this attorney praised the troopers.
I know it was true because I googled the author of the piece and thanked him in an email for their concern for the troopers and got a reply from him.
Looks like a variation on an email that has been making the rounds for about three years.
