Do you have any medals?
Upon arrival to our spot, the peacenik and chief anti-war veteran demanded that we show them our medals, as if only military service would entitle us to have an opinion. DogRobber replied honestly that he had no medals. Bluesage also has no medals, but Bret has medals (hes a vet) and so does Zip (also a vet). A curious request from the peaceniks, considering they detest the military so much that only those who reject the honor of military service need apply for membership to their ranks.
Six Missourians stood for America this morning, once again, across from the peacenik crowd. With the Air Force birthday and POW/MIA events happening this past week, we were in a reflective mood and discussed issues amongst ourselves. Newbie, Bret, was a bit disconcerted by the half-peace signs directed at us. Must have been that new parasite sign!
As always, we were amazed at the anger and intolerance the peaceful sorts exhibit toward those who disagree with them. This winter when we turn on our heat, drive our comfy cars to work, and enjoy the prosperity that freedom brings, well have to think about their signs and feel sorry for the peaceniks. We know they will be cold, on foot, and extremely unhappy with all America and our military has given to them.
One thing is also clear from this past weeks international events. There will be war with Iraq. President Bush has given clear notice that Iraq must surrender its sovereignty to the UN and America and allow unconditional, intrusive and complete inspections of its nuclear, chemical and bio-weapon capability. Saddam will not comply and we will not be gainsaid our purpose. Ultimately, the peacenik forces will see their protests come to naught and they will be forced to choose between America and her enemies. We know what their choice will be and what ours will be.

In this busy world, time is precious to us, and you guys give up your personal time to support those protecting our way of life. WAY TO GO, You make us all proud.
What we do to show our support for our military is appreciated by the troops. They like the idea that we are keeping public awareness peaked up and they have expressed that to us in Fresno how much they appreciate the way we are supporting them. I am sure it is the same in Mo. Thanks again you guys.
All our FReepers who assist in this project enjoy reading all the Operation Infinite FReep threads. We think it is so cool they are now coast to coast! Quite an accomplishment!
And yes, the best part is knowing our troops and veterans see this and feel support. HEY THERE TROOPS! HOWDY VETS!
