OORAH!

Thank you Sgt Chamburs! and Welcome to Free Republic!

Semper Gratus

[RushLake]

Thank you all for your kind words about LCPL RushLake but...

It occurred to me that I inadvertently hijacked a thread honoring Sgt. Chamburs. My pride in our son should not over ride the honors due to Sgt. Chamburs for his actions that inspired this thread.

Sgt. Chamburs, your courage and patriotism are an inspiration to us all, and a credit to the United States Marine Corps. Thank you for taking the time to let others know what a real man looks like when you stood post in front of the loser. All the best to you.

Dearest RushLake,
I do not want to speak for the fine Sgt.
But, I can only predict (since I am the wife of another fine Sgt;-)that he would welcome the company of his fellow Marines in receiving thanks and appreciation.

I cannot imagine ANYONE thinking that you hijacked a thread to honor YOUR SON...
Perhaps it is we, who should be apologizing to you, for not giving him one of his own.

To that I add my deepest appreciation and gratitude to your son and to all other military personnel who protect me, my family and the United States of America.
God bless them all.

Respectfully,
M0sby
((PROUD WIFE of MSgt Edwards USMC))

You make us proud.
Free republic has many who pray for our service people every day.
Thank you for being there.

Okay, Kovach has a right to his views, and to protest. But wouldn't the right place to so so be at the White House, or the nearest Senator's or Congressman's office? He's embarrassing, demeaning, and by extension charging the troops he "supports" by picketing there every day.

Im just a housewife. I homeschool my daughter, and my husband is an engineer. I have only one cousin who is in Iraq right now, but I am sure he is serving with pride among all the other GORGEOUS men and women who are serving there too. My first thought of seeing that young Marine in that picture was "now there's a fine looking man." Then I was forced to look at the freeze-dried scum behind him and the beauty was spoiled, but its okay! Everyone of you people in uniform are DAMN FINE LOOKING. And I thank you for your service. We pray for those overseas fighting evil and we pray for our veterans as well.

Thank you thank you thank you

Sgt, thank you for your service to our country! No one does it better than the USMC.

Im just a housewife.

You are much more than "just" that. Importantly, you are raising the next generation. And by the fact you are home schooling, likely doing a darn great job of it!

BTW - when people would say to my mom, "Oh. So you are just a housewife?" Her answer was about raising the next generation.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Thanks for all you do and welcome to FR.

[JoyjoyfromNJ]

Well done Marine! If I could figure out how to do the clip on post #45, I'd copy it again here! I'm truly sorry you've had to endure these nincompoops but this civilian is very proud of your counter action. From one sign-holder to another--WAY TO GO!

[beckysueb]

Thank you, Sir for your service to our country and for standing up to vermin like this!

Sgt. Chamburs,

Here is a great big AF salute for you. Thank you for your service to our country.
