The State of North Dakota and the Sioux Nation should be very proud of this hero.

What an amazing story.

In 1942 Keeble joined the North Dakota National Guard, and in October that year, found himself embroiled in some of the fiercest hand-to-hand combat of World War II on Guadalcanal.

Don't tell John Kerry

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) Compares Guard Service To Draft-Dodging. “‘If people went to Canada, if people opposed the war, if people chose to be in the Guard, that’s their choice, and I’ve never raised that in an issue,’ he said.” (Noelle Straub, “Kerry Presents Himself As GOP’s Worst Nightmare,” Boston Herald, 2/3/04)

Kerry Repeats Insult Of Guard. “‘I’ve never made any judgments about any choice somebody made about avoiding the draft, about going to Canada, going to jail, being a conscientious objector, going into the National Guard,’ Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, told Fox News Channel. ‘Those are choices people make.’” (Nick Anderson, “Buoyant Kerry Embraces Role Of Frontrunner,” Los Angeles Times, 2/4/04)

DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe Says National Guard Service Not Part of Military. “George Bush never served in our military and our country.” (ABC’s “This Week,” 2/1/04)

A grateful nation says, “Thank You Master Sgt. Woodrow Wilson Keeble. Rest In Peace.”

But the NCAA won’t allow the name “Fighting Sioux”.

...”Hawkins said 83 grenade fragments were removed from Keeble’s body, but several others remained. “You could tell that the wounds bothered him sometimes, but he never complained. Sagami wrote in his statement that Keeble did not complain on the battlefield either. “At no time did he allow himself to be evacuated during the course of the day. Only after the unit was in defensive positions for the night did he allow himself to be evacuated.”

Compare MSG Keeble’s story to that of the 2004 democrat party nominee for President, the odious John Forbes Kerry. It makes me want to puke when I think how far America has fallen that she would allow the likes of Kerry to even be a Senator, much less run for President.

This piece should be sent to every newspaper in the USA so the anti-American leftists can read about a real American hero, not a phony POS like Kerry. But, they would not reprint it because they are too busy carrying water for another leftwing elitist fraud, Barack Hussein Obama.

You will be remembered Master Sgt. Woodrow Wilson Keeble. Thank you Sir for a lifetime of service.

May you rest in peace.

He was a true Lakota warrior. While Sioux is often used to describe this tribe, it is not what these people called themselves and is somewhat derogatory in origin. Depending on the dialect of the tribe, the name can be rendered Lakota, Dakota or Nakota with Lakota being generally the most common. His family currently resides in South Dakota.

The State of North Dakota and the Sioux Nation should be very proud of this hero.

The whole COUNTRY should be proud of him!

Ping!

I know the Lakota are.

"Perhaps today is a good day to die."

Semper Fi Brother.

[Gritty]

What a remarkable story about a great American hero!

[Intimidator]

Good story and good for the Lakota people as well as all americans

His bravery in combat, leading Soldiers, is beyond question. Of his call to duty, Master Sergeant Keeble said,

——“There were terrible moments that encompassed a lifetime, an endlessness, when terror was so strong in me, that I could feel idiocy replace reason. (Yet,) I have never left my position, nor have I shirked hazardous duty. Fear did not make a coward out of me.”

Master Sergeant Keeble volunteered for duty when members of the 164th Inf. Reg. were called to fight in the Korean War. When asked why, he replied,

-——“Somebody has to teach these kids how to fight.”
