HEAR YE! HEAR YE! A CALL TO ARMS!
Saturday, January 18, 2003 Washington DC, 0900 at the Brothers of Nam statue near The Wall
Uncle Sam Wants YOU is something most of us remember. Many of us answered the call. There are literally millions upon millions of living war veterans who selflessly defended freedom and America and our families and fellow countrymen.
Over thirty years ago, the defenders of a free world fought a new kind of war. It was a war without a front, a war without a demonstrable support for its heroic fighters, but with a ferocious enemy back home capturing the media, college campuses, the entertainment industry, many of our own elected representatives, and the attention of the leaders of a militarily soundly defeated North Vietnamese Army and its communist allies, to whom said enemy back home, the radical left, gave aid and abetment.
All of the veterans of that conflict remember the vitriolic welcome home, and the discrimination against them, and the name calling and vile shunning from much of the very people they fought so bravely for.
NEVER AGAIN!
United States Marine Corps combat veterans of the Vietnam War have initiated an offensive; a war, if you will, against the stance and arrogance of the leftist radical movement. These vile traitors, sympathetic to the enemies of this nation have again, after thirty years, risen their ugly heads, Phoenix-like, to aid and abet our enemies. As before, they are demonstrating, trying to present, with the help of the liberal media, a false impression to the citizens and politicians of America, and the world, of a popular opposition to the United States defending itself and waging war upon those bent upon its destruction.
This is YOUR finest hour. Uncle Sam NEEDS you. Your arms are your willingness to help show the world the radical left is not going to be given the sole position of presenting the only voice of the will and wishes of our people; a false and noisy minority is all they are and ever have been.
Your call is to plan to join up with these Marines, and other patriotic Americans, and proceed to Washington, DC to be a needed member of our Righteous Demonstration against that of the leftist anti-war protestors. Noted media representative of the right have been notified we will be there to present and voice what we believe is still the position of the vast majority of Americans.
Time is very short. You may have to make a sacrifice of your time, travel expense, and the comfort of your home in front of the television on which you will be seeing the left once again doing their thing. Please, PLEASE, do not allow them to do it unopposed. YOU are needed!
The leftist demonstration will begin with a gathering on the west side of the White House, and will proceed to the U.S. Navy Yards about four miles to the southeast. You should simply request information, or any questions you may have about anything back to the source of this letter having been e-mailed or sent to you.

This letter ... this PLEA for 'militia' members in a fight against those bent upon the destruction of our country and way of life ... is being sent to many, many places. The total distribution will be unknown to anyone.
Because of that, none of us could know the magnitude of participation.
It IS known, however, that the United States Marine Vietnam combat veteran who wrote this letter, will, if necessary, stand for his nation, our loved ones, our way of life, and THE TRUTH, along with a small band of his brothers, ALONE AGAIN, if need be,
in Washington DC, at 0900 at the Brothers of Nam statue near The Wall, January 18, 2003.

Forces delivering wheelchairs to Afghanistan

376th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs
12/26/02 - OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM (AFPN) -- The first 50 of 1,000 donated wheelchairs bound for disabled people in Afghanistan were delivered to Ganci Air Base, Kyrgyzstan, as part of an ongoing humanitarian project.
Baisal Limited, a wheelchair manufacturer in nearby Bishkek, assembled the wheelchairs and then delivered them to coalition hands in mid-December. Venture International, a nonprofit organization in Arizona, funded the project.
A Spanish air force C-130 left Ganci AB on Dec. 19 to deliver the first 50 wheelchairs to Bagram, Afghanistan.
"This is indeed a monumental effort," said Brig. Gen. Jared P. Kennish, commander of the 376th Air Expeditionary Wing here. "We're honored to play a part in helping the people of Afghanistan."
U.S. members of the coalition team here took part in receiving and preparing the wheelchairs for the first of several expected humanitarian airlift missions.
Airmen from Ganci's Air Terminal Operations Center and the aerial port flight configured the cargo for transport aboard the coalition aircraft.
"This is an exciting time for us. We really don't do this often at our home station," said 1st Lt. Adam Reynolds, aerial port flight commander.
"Here, we've been asked to load food, supplies, and even the wheelchairs to support humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan," he said.
Coalition aircraft will deliver the remaining wheelchairs in increments of about 50 until the project is completed.
"Bringing the wheelchairs to the disabled people of Afghanistan is just a small part of what this wing can accomplish," said Kennish.
"We're away from home and away from our families, but it's always a good feeling when we do something like this for other people," said the operation center's Tech. Sgt. Christopher Addleman.
"We were a foot deep in snow, but we knew we were helping someone," he added.
Many more must be opened afore we sleep...MUD

The Red Sox have still not won a Championship since.
Champions in 1918, they traded the Babe away in 1919, Hooper left in 1920!
The 1919 World Series resulted in the most famous scandal in baseball history. Eight players from the Chicago White Sox (later nicknamed the Black Sox) were accused of throwing the series against the Cincinnati Reds.
What a disaster for poor Harry Hooper.
Actually he had a better hitting average after becoming a player for the Chicago team.

He went from a Championship team to what was likely the most scandal ridden sports situations of all time!
While I agree completely with this sentiment, the MOVEOUT crew will not have any weapons, not even placard sticks. We will initiate no violence.
