Thank you for your kind words. I don't think of myself as all that remarkable. I'm just an American who loves his country and countrymen/women. My son's also have that love of country. The person who deserves the compliment of being remarkable would be my Grandfather. He fought in the trenches of France in WWI. He passed on his patriotism to all his children and grandchildren. We've had many family members in uniform, with some serving overseas during a time of conflict or war.

Right now not only is my son serving in the war, but my brother's son is as well. My sister's son already served one tour in Baghdad and may redeploy before the end of the year. My sister's husband's niece is also in Iraq right now. All of this came from our grandfather; may God Bless his soul in Heaven.

America could sure use more families like yours with strong convictions and a willingness to take a stand for freedom and what is right and good.

If you are ever near Fresno on the first Friday of the month, please come to our rally. You can contact me or JustAmy for info regarding time and location.

May God protect your family members on the front and bring them home safe and sound.

I told my wife about your son standing all alone for his brother and the troops against the libs and she's rip-roaring and ready to go!! Hopefully we can form a convoy and caravan up the 99 to Chico for a weekend to lend a hand!!
