A Tribute To 68-69TonkinYatchClub
"I VOW to the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on The Viet Nam Wall who never came home and to those who died at home from injuries and from broken hearts. I will do everything I LEGALLY can to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all. I will not tire, I will not falter, and I will not fail. I solemnly vow to do all I can to restore your honor until I give my last breath on earth."
68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub
Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

“TONK”, I didn’t know you - (newbie here), but from the posts already made by the above posters, it is evident that you were loved so very much by your friends on Free Republic. Believe me, you won’t ever be forgotten, nor will the lessons you taught so many. Rest softly in His Arms.........

Haaaaaaa - I’m about ready to take a jacz. I’ve got a monster to clean. 4000 sqs. I’m not bragging - I just own a big house.
Since I’m married to a Navy dude, I’ve got “a cleanest body and a dirtiest mind” dude. He is the best, however! 8)

Any slight or attack on our military, past or present, was taken directly to his heart. It hurt him and he wouldn’t let anything go by without comment. A certain group did cause him pain, but he is now at peace, and Monday will be a celebration of his life.

Diana Irey is a real American Patriot!
She's all over the phony cut and run murtha.
Every vet in America needs to back her and sign up for the Veterans Roll Call
The only "vets" who wouldn't would be the "vets" who supported hanoi harry.
All a real vet has to do is "sign" his/her real name.
Branch of Service
Dates of Service
Your State
Your e-mail address
Any other info is optional
REAL Vets, on other forums, where support for Diana Irey is not allowed
can post their info here and the liberal forums won't even know.
Nor will FR even know.
Why would a REAL vet NOT sign the Veterans Roll Call?
Time for REAL Vets to stand Proud and Tall for our men and women on active duty now!

A campaign organized by
Vets For The Truth to
redeploy John Murtha
Murtha sides up with Code Pink
Code Pink has given $650,000 to the terrorists in Fallujah, participated in war crimes tribunals against America and has called American soldiers "killers" on their website among many treasonous actions. They display signs like "Maimed for a Lie" at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where wounded troops are healing.
Text of Code Pink's statement on meeting Rep. Murtha:
Thank You Congressman Murtha! CODEPINK co-founder Gael Murphy and DC coordinator Allison Yorra met with Congressman Murtha to thank him for his courageous stand on Iraq. We presented him with our pink badge of courage and pink flowers sent by CODEPINK members nationwide.
Murtha's "Cut & Run" Comments on Iraq: "there's no progress at all" "it's worse than it was prewar" "we should immediatley redeploy" "War cannot be won on the ground" "I have said it's a civil war" "We cannot win this militarily. Our tactics themselves keep us from winning," |
Murtha's Comments on our Troops: "Would you join (the military) today?," he was asked in an interview. "No," replied Murtha "And I think you're saying the average guy out there who's considering recruitment is justified in saying 'I don't want to serve'," the interviewer continued. "Exactly right," said Murtha "we have become a catalyst for violence" in Iraq Marines "killed innocent civilians in cold blood." at Haditha "I will not excuse murder, and this is what happened" "This is worse than Abu Ghraib" "Hopefully, this is an isolated incident. But we're supposed to be selling ideas of America, ideals of America, and we're losing that war." "These kind of things have to be brought out immediately," he told "This Week," "because if the Marines got away with it, other Marines might think it's okay." "What they're saying to me is we're stretching the military too thin. The army is broken, and we couldn't deploy to a second front if we wanted to." "The troops don't know what to do. They don't have the direction they need in order to supervise the prisoners," |
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified,
shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars
were treated and appreciated by their nation."
-- President George Washington --
"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and
undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged."
-- President Abraham Lincoln --

~~~ Almighty and Eternal God, protect our soldiers as they discharge their duties. Surround them with the shield of your strength and keep them safe from all evil and harm. May the power of your love enable them to return home safely to the people who love them and to the gratitude of the American people. We ask this through Christ our Lord.~~~

She is being a complete brat. But she is a cutie:
She has grown into a total terror. Her most recent photo:
President Bush is in Kennebunkport (which is right down the road from us, I'm NOT GOING THERE). Thank you to the Canteen for all of the honor we give (thankfully so) to our Men and Women of the US Miliary. WE LOVE YOU ALL! Good night to the Canteen. 8)

Nice selection.
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the Master of my fate:
I am the Captain of my soul.
