My name is Joseph Williams, and my son, Marine Lance Cpl. Michael Jason Williams, died in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Michael believed in the mission and he believed in the goodness and decency of America. I wanted to explain to you why it is that I decided to join Move America Forward's "THESE COLORS DON'T RUN" national patriotic caravan from March 8th - March 17th and why I hope you will do what you can to support this important effort in conjunction with the "Gathering of Eagles" event in Washington, D.C. My son and I shared a strong admiration for the United States Armed Forces. I am a Vietnam Vet, having served in the United States Navy from February 1961 - June 1966. I saw a lot of good men fight valiantly for their nation and the cause of freedom over communism, who came home to be spit upon, dishonored and disgraced by the anti-war movement here in America. I cannot sit back and let this kind of behavior happen again to this generation's heroes. The men and women of the United States military answer the call for freedom, knowing that they risk their own lives and safety. They are separated from their families and endure often grueling, miserable conditions because they believe in service, honor and duty. Some of them come home in coffins because they believe it is better for them to risk their lives defending this nation than for innocent American civilians here at home to die. So now that you know how I feel, imagine the reaction I had when I was told that people like Cindy Sheehan and Jane Fonda were planning a giant anti-war rally near the Vietnam Memorial to mark the 4th Anniversary of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Was I to sit back and let filth like Jane Fonda do to our men and women today what she did to my brothers and I a generation ago? Please, help me do something positive and patriotic to counter the disgraceful actions against our troops undertaken by Jane Fonda and Cindy Sheehan. We owe it to our troops to stand up and defend their honor and salute their patriotism and service. Join the Move America Forward team and me in our national patriotic caravan. If you can only drive with us part of the way or the entire way to Washington, D.C. that's fine, but I'm hoping that many of you will find a way to join us. We have a complete list of our route, stops and itinerary available for you to figure out how to join up with us online at: www.MoveAmericaForward.org
P.S. When we get to Washington, D.C. we'll be joining the "Gathering of Eagles" patriotic event being organized by veterans groups and pro-troop organizations (including Move America Forward). One of the things we're going to do is to create a giant "Flag City" of American Flags that we collect at rally stops from all over the country. So please bring a flag (or several flags) to one of the stops we have planned along the way, and we'll display it in D.C. Afterwards all the flags will be sent with a note indicating who donated them to our troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. You can also mail in a flag or a contribution to support the effort to: Move America Forward God Bless you and God Bless America! Joseph Williams

bump to the top
God bless all of you who are going on this tour. It's times like this when I REALLY miss Tonkin's postings.
Thanks for the pings folks!
BTTT!
hahahaha!
Joseph's original comments included a few other choice words that probably shouldn't be put in emails that are sent out to grandmothers and young adults with impressionable minds :)
FReeper thackney has some pretty damn cool photos! Thanks for posting.
I hope and pray on my knees that Jane Fonda would grow a heart and a sense of appreciation for the brave young men and women who go into harm's way to keep her alive and free to say and do insanely revolting and anti-American things.
:^)
Everytime I see the moonbats getting together for one of their anti-war rallies, I think of the thousands who won't hear "Would you like fries with that order?", for the day. Oh, the humanity!
If the thought of Cindy Sheehan and Jane Fonda protesting doesn't get your blood boiling, nothing will.
The MSM is loving this display of anti-Americanism. So it is up to the conservative majority in America to get motivated to get out and support this caravan and rally in Washington.
If we don't win this war in Iraq, we will see the battle just move into the United States. It is far better to fight terrorism in the Middle East, than here.
BBWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I suspect that young man may not even have been born when 'Hanoi Jane' Fonda committed her acts of treason ... but he knows ... Good on 'im.
Never forget.
You can enjoy; but Jane probably gets the last laugh here; as she probably will be cremated. . .sprinkled - God knows where - and will not care if she has a marker; or not.
Think; short of a death-bed conversion to the 'Rightness' of the world; there is little satisfaction to be had from these people. We do not get any while they are alive; and we should expect none; when they are gone.
Real satisfaction can be had; by our knowing and having confirmed. . .how wrong they were; and how lucky we are. . .that their failed idiology - a prescription for failure - was precisely that. . .
I pray that is the case for 'the future' of America.
BUMP
