His father, Richard Goodwin, was an adviser and speechwriter for Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Lieutenant Goodwin hoped to become a speechwriter, as his father had once done.

.......

With his Ivy League background, Lieutenant Goodwin is unusual in the military these days. Perhaps even more so being the son of well-known liberal parents who strongly opposed the war in Vietnam. But the patriotism that inspired him to enlist after Sept. 11. is typical of young people who signed up then.

Opposed the ware in Vietnam, but wrote speaches for Lydnon Johnson. What hypocrites.

[Mr. Mulliner]

God bless Lieutenant Goodwin. It can't be easy growing up with a mom like that. Somehow he seems to have gotten a pretty good head on his shoulders in spite of it.

God Bless Joey Goodwin and all our Troops!

His mother is a Clinton kneepad b*tch but God bless this fine young man. Hey, kid, stay the heck away from Bob Shrum.

Good luck to him. No one should deny his own parents, no matter how wrong-headed they are, but I trust he finds an honorable course through life.

It's interesting the way some children try to make up for their embarrassing parents.

9/11 will be regarded as the biggest mistake the Muslims ever made.
